Math U See, Math Mammoth or Singapore Primary Mathematics St. Ed.?

[theflyingbunny]

Hello All:

 

My daughter used Math in Focus 1st and 2nd grade at a private school.  I homeschooled her last year using Math in Focus for 3rd grade.  Math in Focus is way to expensive for us, so I switched to Singapore Primary Mathematics St. Ed. for 3B (last part of 3rd grade).

 

Now she is in 4th grade (still homeschooling) but I am uncertain as to which curriculum for math I should use with her.  

 

Should I switch to Math U See?

 

Switch to Math Mammoth?

 

Stay with Singapore Primary Mathematics Standard Ed.?

 

Do any of you have any thoughts on this?

 

Thanks,

 

Denny

Why are you uncertain?  The standards edition of Primary Mathematics is truly excellent.  Unless there is a problem (like you or your child hates it), I'd stick with it.

Agree...stick to what is working. You don't want to get my disease-"curriculum hoarder".

I've looked at/used a ton of math curriculums in the last couple of years. All of them were a flop for one reason or another. Finally, finally we found what worked for us and are once again excelling at math.

 

So...if Singapore is working for you and DD, I say keep on using it. It's better to stick with one that works than skipping all over the place, I guess. BTDT. And Singapore is a quality program, rigorous and effective. Unless your DD is really struggling, I don't think there's any reason to change.
