The Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition series of elementary math textbooks and workbooks is meant to be part of a system of learning in which adult supervision and independent practice go hand in hand. The main feature of this series is the use of the Concrete> Pictorial>Abstract approach. The students are provided with the necessary learning experiences beginning with the concrete and pictorial stages, followed by the abstract stage to enable them to learn mathematics meaningfully. This approach encourages active thinking process, communication of mathematical ideas and problem solving. This helps develop the foundation students will need for more advanced mathematics. Practice exercises are designed to provide the students with further practice after they have done the relevant workbook exercises. Review exercises are provided for cumulative reviews of concepts and skills. All the practice exercises and review exercises are optional exercises. Our Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition 1A-6B is ideal for both classroom and home use for 1st - 7th grades. This is the most popular (Singapore Math) primary math series used by schools and homeschoolers in the U.S. and Canada. Recommended for those who want a solid, basic math program with a proven track record and an emphasis on concept development, mental techniques, and problem solving. This is primarily a direct instruction program. Students are given several approaches for solving problems and are encouraged to discuss ideas and explore additional methods. Answer keys booklets are not included, but are available - one for Primary 1A-3B and one for Primary 4A-6B. Review: Great program, my older child has learned a lot ... - I use Singapore Math to homeschool my children. I have one child in 2nd grade using 2a/2b this year, and my kindergartener just started 1a/1b. I figured we will work through 1a slowly - it is very, very doable for a kindergartener and does get harder as you move along. My now 2nd grader did 1a/1b last year within one year, and my plan is to do 1a for k this year, and 1b + for first grade next year with my younger child. Great program, my older child has learned a lot and Singapore really builds the foundations that the kids need. My 2nd grader is leap years ahead of her public school peers and we are barely through half of 2a at this point. We move slowly, take our time to ensure mastery and really enjoy the program. I prefer a rigorous, classical approach to homeschooling and Singapore achieves that in math for me. Get the home instructor's guide and textbook to go along with these workbooks - you'll need them if you want to do it right. Review: Great Alternative methods for learning. - I purchased these for my 7yo. Great books for mathematics. Give insight on alternative methods that are outside the traditional teachings. Give pictures to assist with understanding of concepts. I do wish the answer key wasn’t in a separate book. So I have to purchase these answer key, textbook, and workbook all separately.

Great Alternative methods for learning.
I purchased these for my 7yo. Great books for mathematics. Give insight on alternative methods that are outside the traditional teachings. Give pictures to assist with understanding of concepts. I do wish the answer key wasn’t in a separate book. So I have to purchase these answer key, textbook, and workbook all separately.

Mix of activities, not boring for a 5year old
We started with 1a even though our kiddo is just 5. The pages are black and white, but we spice things up a bit by coloring. I like the way that the activities are geared for children, not just writing all the time. It helps that it is not too much workbook-y, it is a mix of different activities and they use different objects. Singapore math seems to be a good way of teaching mathematics, and my son is having a blast!

Math is Fun!
I'm really happy with these math books! I'm using them in conjunction with Math-U-See and my boys seem to be retaining more info. I like the very visual approach to it because I am very visual. I think it is giving my boys more tools to choose from when doing math on their own. I will be continuing with Singapore Math for the foreseeable future.

interesting approach to math
I didn't understand Singapore math so saw my friend using this for her kid's public school and got this to check it out. this has many word problems and visual concepts of math. some are kinda weird to be honest, but the best way I describe it is an early example of SAT math problems. that is probably why it is so popular because it may help improve standardized test scores. i don't know though. I kicked butt on the SAT and PSAT math sections growing up and used very traditional methods of learning math. I did however do many practice test questions for SAT as I got older which i know for sure helped my scores. I don't find singapore math essential nor ideal. more gimmicky. i can understand why some people don't like it as it can be a bit confusing at times. math like most things in life you get good at by lots of practice and memorization. not much can substitute for that.

Singapore Math is Great Homeschool Choice
We love the Singapore Math program. It is a little more challenging then some other math programs and I am always trying to challenge my children so these books were great. The price is also very reasonable. We are very pleased with the program and would suggest it to anyone who wants to challenge their children.

So well done!
This was PERFECT for my first grader. I will keep using this curriculum with my other three children when they are ready. I loved the instructional book that went with it and all of the pictures that represented the concepts. It was exactly what my child needed for understanding the math. Well done, Singapore Math!

It really works
I heard about Singapore math from my friends and decided to try. I did not tell my daughter that it's my books not teacher's so she was doing it like regular homework.In a month she was done with the first one. She loves to do it I did not push. Need to start the second one 'cause her homework is way too easy now. I guess I need to get 2A and 2B just keep it going.
