MamaHappy Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 In your humble opinion, of course. :-) Maybe Singapore?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Singapore does lay an extremely good foundation for high school math. It might or might not be ahead at any point during K-8 (or actually K-6, since Algebra is 7th grade in Singapore texts), but it is very good preparation for what follows.

fractalgal Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Singapore's supplementary materials, CWP and IP, are pretty advanced compared to the average problems I've seen in other curricula. Beast Academy has some more advanced problems, and I look forward to seeing the entire series when it is done. Here are some of the things I like about BA. Russian Math books are good as far as well explained concepts and more difficult word problems. Also, MEP has some more challenging material as far as really checking to see if concepts are understood (rather than just memorized). I'm sure there are others out there, but the above are some of the better I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 It depends on what you mean by advanced. Are you talking about strictly when operations are introduced? I would say Horizons. When my dd was doing Horizons math in first grade I tried supplementing with Math Mammoth and I was having to pull things from Math Mammoth's third grade worktext to match up. Are you talking about the why of math? Singapore, Math in Focus, Rightstart, and Math Mammoth are all about even here. Are you talking about manipulation of the numbers? I would say MEP. We use MEP along with Math in Focus and MEP has my dd8 doing some really tricky, puzzle-type things with numbers that I haven't seen in anything else. Edited to Add: Beast Academy might fall in this category as well, but I haven't used it or seen it...yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 When I first started homeschooling, I read that Horizons was known for being advanced. When that didn't work for us, we started CSMP, which is by far more advanced than Horizons in every aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
