Singapore Math Office Hours for Teachers
May 4, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Live Online Office Hours
With the COVID crisis keeping me at home, I really miss spending time with teachers. Fortunately, tech tools like Zoom offer an alternative. I had planned to offer office hours in April for teachers to address your questions about teaching math using a Singapore approach.
And then this happened:
We’re all ok and in temporary housing, so it’s time to get back online!
Are you stuck at home and need to teach your students remotely? Just curious about Singapore Math or Model Drawing? This is your opportunity to ask me anything about teaching math the Singapore way, or get help on finishing the school year.
Please click to register:
Thursdays, starting May 7 at 10:00 AM Mountain Time
Tuesdays starting, May 12 at 1:00 PM Mountain Time.
Attendance is limited, so sign up today! I’d love your input on times or topics for future sessions; share your suggestions here.
Singapore Math Online Resources – Free! (For now…)
April 6, 2020 by 2 Comments
Since so many teachers and parents are schooling from home, I thought I’d update some of the resources that companies are offering for free, at least through the end of the academic year.
Dimensions Math and Primary Math
For students: free instructional lesson videos Grades 1–4.
These are designed for students to use with textbooks and workbooks to complete their school work. Many of these lessons may be used for students using Primary Mathematics as well; PM students should look here to find the corresponding Dimensions Math chapters.
For teachers: free access to ebooks. Fill out the request form here: https://www.singaporemath.com/at-home-learning
Primary Math and Math in Focus
Marshall Cavendish is providing free access through the end of May to Math Buddies, an online learning tool.

These are challenging times… How can we help?
March 27, 2020 by Leave a Comment
The Coronavirus pandemic is impacting society across the globe. Efforts to reduce the spread of the virus are forcing unprecedented disruptions, including widespread lockdowns that have closed many of our schools.
Despite the COVID-19 threat, life goes on. Teachers, who thrive on personal interaction with students in their classrooms, are being asked to deliver instruction remotely. And students are being asked to learn independently.
In these challenging times, we want to help.
Free Dimensions Math Lesson Videos
For students, Singapore Math Inc. is currently offering free instructional lesson videos created for Dimensions Math Grades 1–4. These are designed for students to use with textbooks and workbooks to complete their school work. Many of these lessons may be used for students using Primary Mathematics as well; PM students should look here to find the corresponding Dimensions Math chapters.
Live Online Q & A Sessions
With the COVID crisis keeping me at home, I really miss spending time with teachers. Fortunately, tech tools like Zoom offer an alternative. So, beginning next week, I plan to host live, online meetings to address your questions about teaching math using a Singapore approach.
Are you stuck at home and need to teach your students remotely? Just curious about Singapore Math or Model Drawing?
This is your opportunity to Ask Me Anything about teaching math the Singapore way. Please register here for the Tuesday, March 31 session. This Q & A will begin at 1:00 PM Mountain Time (US). Attendance is limited, so sign up today! Canceled due to personal emergency. We’ll try again in 2 weeks!
I’d love your input on times or topics for future sessions; share your suggestions here.
Summer Jumpstart Your Singapore Math Workshop Update
The Coronavirus pandemic has escalated significantly since we announced these workshops three weeks ago. We hope the crisis will soon pass and life will return to something more normal.
We know when that happens, teachers will want training for the next school year. It is too early to know whether it will be safe or proper to hold summer training. We will continue to evaluate the situation and provide updates here. We will also notify those registered of any changes and offer a flexible refund policy.
Please stay safe in these uncertain times.
