Welcome to Singapore Math––the leading math program in the world! This workbook features math practice and activities for fifth grade students based on the Singapore Math method. An introduction at the front of each book explains Singapore Math and its common problem types. Each unit has learning objectives, which clearly define the skills to be learned in that section, and an answer key with step-by-step worked out solutions that help students see how to work the problems. This book is perfect for students familiar with Singapore Math and for those who just need extra math practice!Many students struggle with word problems because they typically involve two or more mathematical concepts and require reading, comprehension, and analytical skills to determine the solution. To help overcome this struggle, these Singapore Math workbooks focus on diagrams, number bonds, the "counting on" method, and the "crossing out" method to help students master challenging word problems as well as exercise mental calculation. Perfect as a supplement to classroom work or as a homeschool resource, this series will boost confidence in problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.

These word problems are typical Singapore style, often requiring two mathematical calculations to determine the answer. They also require the student to determine the relationship between the variables given in order to calculate the answer, this helps develop critical thinking skills. I have to think a bit to solve the problems too, fortunately detailed solutions are given in the back, not just the final answer. This is a great supplement to any math program even if a student only works through one or two questions/day.
After taking all the 70 problems in this book, my 4th grader boy happily told me that he like this book. And he wrote a few comments on one Notes page. I posted as below: "This is a very good quality book for 5th graders. It challenges your mind and forces you to think. You might think it is right but actually is wrong. You can't guess and get all right. Sometime I find the solution is more logical than the way I do. You can easily understand."And I am happy that I find a practice book fit my kid. I helped him with a few problems even though he looked at the answers. But not lot so it's why the kid won't get too difficult with it.
The book contains numerous difficult problems. Unfortunately, the Answer/Explanation section has little to no explanation of how to solve the problems. The author apparently assumed that all readers were up-to-date and proficient in the Singapore Method. I would not recommend this book.
I really liked this book. My 10 year old 5th grader is using it. I like how it lays out the problems, gives strategies up front and allows the student to try the same type of problem more than once to get it right.I re-used the problems later by just changing "names" and numbers in the problems to make up my own "revision" test. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to teach their child (and learn themselves) how to solve Singapore Math problems using model drawing. It took me a few tries, but I got the hang of it.If you want a more difficult book, you can get the Primary Math Challenging Word Problems book.
Great little practice book for the above average student.It will provide practice with multiple step; logical thinking problems.There is also a great review on the Singapore method in the beginning.Highly recommended.
I'm a teacher and this is a great way to teach your children how to problem solve using different strategies. The solutions and the back not only teach the children but also the parent who is assisting. Excellent way of learning how to problem solve in a non traditional way.
We use this book as a supplement to our other homeschool math. I wish I had started using the other books in earlier grades. While the questions are challenging (honestly, just reading some of them makes my head hurt), and there are detailed diagrams in the back, there is little explanation of why you do the steps in a particular order. I think more explanation of the steps would be helpful.
If you are familiar with Singapore math, then you'll know that they are generally at a higher standard. I was told this book is a level 4 meaning "advanced". The problems in the beginning are repetitive, i.e., after your kid get one, the next 2-3 would be walk in the park (and so on). Yes it has 70 but I'd say the "real" number is around 30. If you are working with your child then I'd suggest you work with them on the first one and then have them do the repetitive ones. Overall I'd still rate it a 3 as for about 6 bucks you are getting a handful of challenging (for US grade 5) problems.
