RoseS8 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I got on the Singapore website this morning to order Singapore Standards, but I see they now have a new Dimensions Math available. Which one do you think is better, and do you think one looks easier to teach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have MIF 1a here, but I thought Singapore Standards or their new elementary Dimensions might be more homeschool friendly to teach.

Samples can be found here...http://dimensionsmath.com/sample-pages/. I realize no one has probably used it yet, but just looking at the samples I wondered if anyone thought it might be a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenDaisies Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Your best source for information at this point is probably the Singapore Forum. If you post there, Jenny will answer or point you to the answer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targhee Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I agree about trying the Singapore forums. Dimensions is pretty new. Personally, I wish they would have put a little more effort into the graphics, but those kind of things are important to me enjoying using a text. They do not have the HIGs out yet either, which is a huge drawback for me. They do have Teacher Guides though, so you could get them and adapt to single student use. I know a lot of people use MIF. I used one MIF book because my local homeschool supply was out of Primary Mathematics and I needed to keep rolling with my student. I did not like it. It felt a little watered down to me, American-ized instead of the streamlined format that PM is. As soon as they restocked PM we went back (we were only 3 or 4 weeks into the MIF book). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
