shanezomom Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Has anyone used this online Singapore math supplement? Whaddya think? http://isingaporemath.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyhappypeople Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Wow, $39/mo is pretty expensive. I'm interested in hearing some preliminary reviews, though. Younger DD is pretty mathy and might find something like this pleasantly challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanezomom Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 I think that is for the tutor service. The online math is $99 which I assumed was for the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelli21 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I just saw http://www.isingaporemath.com/ today and was wondering about it myself. Anyone? OP did you purchase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) One of my DD9's is doing a belt right now. Because of processing and working memory problems she struggles a little more with math so I am looking for extra practice geared toward any weak areas. It is to early to give much of a review, her section just started. iSingapore is partnered with singaporemath.com according to the Director of Online Operations. The textbook companion is supposed to allow you to choose from MIF, SM, and Common Core standards. In my understanding $99 is for one level, which was problem for me because we straddle levels and would need two in a school year. DS has a tutor in SM, but that is face to face, and more expensive than isingapore. We will try one twelve week session and then evaluate if it is worthwhile.

Cynful Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Melissa, Will you let us know how it's going as you go through it and let us know if it was worth it? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebandbrooke Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anyone else have any feedback about the textbook companion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I wish I could give a positive review. We have three weeks left with DD. I do not plan to renew at this point and am actually very disappointed in the $167 spent. The belts appear to be the set up like the companion. Two lessons are released every week for the child to work on. The parent is emailed if the lesson isn't completed by the end of the week. There is no interaction with a teacher or representative past someone releasing the material. Once a lesson is finished the child moves on if they obtain a passing grade. Correct answers are shown at the end of each problem. If they do not pass they are given the same questions to do over, so memorization of the correct answers is mastered versus how to correctly carry out the problem. This is one of the biggest problems I have, they can't come up with 10 different problems if the child doesn't pass? I made this choice to help DD who struggles a little more with SM PM Standard Edition. The steps used to complete division problems are different than those taught in the PM, which has created confusion and much frustration for DD. She is 5 lessons behind right now, as lessons were released over Christmas and New Year's Day. I am not impressed. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
