Guest anne38 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hello, I'm new to the forum and am driving myself a little nuts trying to figure out what to do. I have been homeschooling my second grader from the beginning. He hates Saxon math and I am not enjoying it either so I am strongly thinking about switching over to Singapore. He is almost done with Saxon 2 and based on the placement test he would start 2a in Singapore. I know the way Saxon teaches is a lot different than Singapore. Will he be able to switch over very easily to Singapore 2a or should I go back to 1b just to make sure he learns the concepts that Singapore teaches? I hate to go back that far since being bored with Saxon is one of his main issues. Any thoughts on how to switch over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 If he passed the placement test I would put him there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I would agree, if he tests into 2A then place him into 2A. The Level 1 books are my least favorite Singapore Math anyway, so we do other things and start with 2A. You might also consider adding the Intensive Practice(IP) and Challenging Word Problems(CWP) books, especially if he was bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest anne38 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I will order the 2a and stop overthinking it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Be sure to order the Home Instructor's Guide. The HIG is very useful to learning how to present the material in the Singapore method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
