Abeka Math vs Singapore Math Dimensions // A Comparison 

Loved this type of video. It really helps when comparing how concepts are taught by each curricula. Even when curriculum companies give samples, this isn't always possible.

Awesome job comparing the two! Thanks for this information about their approaches.

I really appreciate this. I haven’t used this two curriculums & I enjoyed seeing the walk through.

Abeka also has a teacher manual you purchase to teach the lessons.

Love this! Great comparison of these two curricula. I have never seen a video like this. Great job. God bless ❤️

Nice!! Math really isn’t My forte so getting help is a must for me! Thanks for sharing your resources! 💕

My friend has been using abeka for a while and she loves it.

We’ve used A beka I’m not really a fan when it gets to the older grades but the younger grades are fine:) I’ve never used Singapore math before but I’ve heard great things about it . Thanks for sharing!

This video is E X A C T L Y what I needed. Was in between these two curriculums. Thank you!

I haven't used either but heard a lot of teachers like the Singapore math. My children were taught in preschool Abeka reading and math. Great comparison!!

Good comparisons between the different programs.

I love this! I love side by side comparisons!

Thank you! I'm trying to decide if I should grade down my 5th grader that's coming from public school next year to homeschool. This singapore course look helped!

Love this video my son would love this!!! Thanks so much

Thank you so much for this video!

Haven't seen either of these close up. Thank you :-)

Does the Teacher Manual have pages of mental.math to give the student for practice? I've used the Singapore Primary Mathematics for levels 2 and 3 and love the mental math in the back of the teacher's guide. But the rest of the teacher book was so confusing.

I have been pondering about Singapore Math, as this seem to have more practical/logical example. I want the kinds to understand vs knowing. Do you agree.

A Beka is very much spiral and doesn't dig too deep into the analysis of the problem set. It also focuses more on memorization of math facts. Some kids do very well with this approach until they are asked to problem solve and use different strategies to find an answer (upper elementary). Singapore on the other hand is mastery- based. The child is asked to dig deeper into the concept and analysis, and is trained to focus heavily on mental math strategies in lower elementary grades. I also like that advanced kids can incorporate the Challenging Word Problems and Intensive Practice workbooks for a first- class educational experience in elementary mathematics. I think Math Mammoth is sandwiched somewhere in between Abeka and Singapore, and is the cheapest of all three curriculums, though much less colorful and animated. Anyway, nice video. I gave you a thumbs up. The big question I have for you is why Dimensions instead of say, Primary Math series US edition or Standards Edition??

Did you take the placement test or did you just choose the level for her grade?

Dimensions looks better to me.
