lovintolearn Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 http://www.singaporemath.com/Dimensions_Math_s/219.htm Thoughts? Anyone planning to use this math (at the moment only a few levels available)? Sadly, I’m a sucker for new math curriculum! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I am a complete sucker for new math programs too. But, I think I will stick with the regular Singapore Math. The Dimensions one looks interesting, but if anything, a little more cluttered and less clear than the earlier Singapore Math Primary and US editions.

ghcostafamily Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I took a look at it yesterday, and sadly I dont like the looks of it. Like JANEWAY said, it look cluttered and not well organized. I may just be biased because I love the US versions with all the cute kiddos :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndGenHomeschooler Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I don’t know about the lower levels (didn’t realize they had lower levels until the post) but my DD is using 6B right now and we really like it. I like it better than 6B of the US Edition. I like the layout a lot too and it doesn’t feel cluttered to us. A concept is explained with a fully worked problem or two, then there are several problems for the student to try. After a few of these there’s an exercise to practice all of those concepts with four different levels of difficulty. At the end of each chapter there’s a page that summarizes the information covered. There are classroom activities also but we usually skip those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghcostafamily Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I didn’t know they had older Dimensions levels out? Their post said it was only k-1 I believe...is this an older program that they are revamping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like eventually it’ll be a self-contained series encompassing pK-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 One thing though, since I have generally not loved level 6 of primary maths, I wonder if it would be good to switch to Dimensions at level 6. Or wait until level 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
