dcjlkplus3 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 My oldest will be (hopefully) finished or close to it with Singapore Primary Math 6A at the end of her 6th grade year (in July). We are using the US editions if that matters. She likes to be able to work independently and does math fairly slowly. What do you recommend for a good math program to follow that? :bigear: Thanks!

dcjlkplus3 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Anyone?? :bigear: Any favorites for 7th grade math? Does Singapore go through high school? If so, what is it called and does anyone have any experience with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wapiti Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Lots of threads, lots of choices. I'm partial to: AoPS Prealgebra, Dolciani Prealgebra, an Accelerated Course, Jacobs Algebra. What next after SM 6b Singapore Math users--Where to go after 6B? Math after Singapore 6B Algebra I ready after Singapore 6A/6B??? Where to go after Singapore 6B? Trying to decide on math - NEM, DM, AoPS Please share your math sequence AOPS pre-algebra or Discovering Mathematics? What happens to Singapore users after 6th grade?

quark Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 There's a great blog post about what you could do after 6B, written by a member of these boards. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Singapore's next program after the primary series is Discovering Mathematics. I think it is an excellent program--I love the problems in it. But I would not call it an independent program except for highly motivated students who lean toward the mathy side. I'm putting a lot of time into it with my dd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcjlkplus3 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks for the links to previous threads, I will check them out. I also read the blog and found it very interesting. My dd11 is NOT mathy in any way. I am hoping to be done with 6A at the end of 6th grade. My instinct is to stay with Singapore (I picked it because I like it, and I don't usually like changing curriculums), but it doesn't sound like it would be a good fit for her. She is very interested in astronomy so I want to make sure her math skills are solid and on track. Question - does Life of Fred combine math with other subjects (can't wrap my brain around it)?
