We bought the Intensive Practice series[0], and paced study time at a couple of pages a day (which takes about 20-30 mins), semi-supervised (i.e. kids mostly work on their own, but if they don't understand something, we help clarify). It does take some hand holding at the beginning though.

Interesting. So was this a supplement to math learned at school or was it the primary math?

I was expecting you to name dimensions or one if the other programs they offer.


It isn't related to school curriculum (our kids go to US public school). It's supplemental in the sense that they get to practice more math exercises than a kid that only relies on school/common core curriculum.


Most school math is pathetically slow. IIRC, they don’t learn algebra till 8th or 9th grade and even then spend an entire year on it.


Curious if you ever looked into Beast Academy and compared it with Singapore math?

My kid is doing beast academy which looks good so am curious how they compare.
