Whether this book is from the "real" Singapore math publisher or not, I have no idea.What I do know is this book is brilliant. Their approach to story problems is ground-breaking. This approach would have even helped me in my college math courses! They present a very clear, intuitive way of solving difficult story problems for kids using a very simple model. In fact, the use of their model is even faster than Algebra in most cases.What's amazing is my daughter actually enjoys using this book at home with me to supplement the sub-standard math education she's getting in her NYC public school. The approach to math is so much more interesting and intuitive. I wish I was taught math this way.The book has a very useful front three pages for the tutor/parent/instructor showing the elegant way to solve the problems. Then it has a variety of sections that cover the basics that 6th grade kids (In the US) should know how to do. The answers in the back are both accurate and complete, showing exactly how they solved each problem.This is a fantastic supplemental resource for parents frustrated with the slow pace of math learning in U.S. schools.
This is the workbook that you use with the Singapore math textbook. It is a good workbook, has plenty of opportunities for practicing. However, if you don't have, or are not, using the Singapore textbook, this workbook is only somewhat useful. I purchased it and the other level workbook (5a and 5b) to see if they could supplement the workbooks my district uses for math already (we use enVision). They're nice, laid out well, clean, but there's most of the problems/work in the workbooks is the same as what we have. Two differences: 1-the word problems in these two workbooks are better than what we have, 2-there's a little more practice than our workbooks. So, should you buy? If you already have workbooks and are looking to supplement for your class, probably not. If you have no other workbooks, then these could be useful. If you're looking for good Singapore math material to supplement, try looking at the word problems or mental math books. Also, if you're looking for more quick practice to aid memorization and automaticity, try the Singapore sprints (if you can't find them here, you can get them on Singaporemath.com, but you'll pay a lot more (around $30).

This is part B of the 5A/5B set, which goes further with decimals, triangles, starts percentages, and geometry.If you haven't taken a look at the Singapore method of math teaching, you owe yourself and your child to do so. Even if they don't teach this method in your child's school, your child will benefit enormously from this teaching method. It will supplement what they learn at school without interfering with anything they've learned so far.Where Singapore math really shines is in their approach to story problems. They teach a beautiful, simple "modelling" technique that is so elegant that you will wonder how you got through math without it. Story problems that adults would tackle with a complicated set of simultaneous equations and algebra a cinch with the "modelling" system they teach. My daughter was able to master the technique after about an hour of practice.This book has the same solid problems and well-written answer solutions as part A.Hard to believe, but my child even said "that was fun!" after an hour-long session.
This book has challenging problems including some word problems with full answers in the back. I bought it to get my son doing 6th grade math more exposure to basic geometry so we work the problems together, and he gets some review in the other topics that he can do independently. It covers decimals, metric conversion problems, averages, percentages, angles, triangles & quadrilaterals, geometric construction, and volume. It does not have lessons on the topics since those would be found in the regular Singapore textbooks.
