In all honesty there are very few math folks on UB. Only a math guy (or girl) would have had any reason to compare the above programs. Most parents hear a little of this, a little of that and then post. Also, there are students who will thrive in math no matter what program, students who won't, students who will be ok with any program, students who won't and a VERY, VERY small percentage of students who absolutely NEED a specific approach.

I can explain, but it's way easier to watch the video. If you go to Youtube and search illiterate TERC, you'll find it. It's a mathematician who demonstrates how to solve a problem using all three programs [ Reply | More

TERC and Everyday Math are what people call New New Math (or Fuzzy Math). It is heavy on concept and light on repetition and mastery. EM relies on Spiraling, which means a topic like Probability may first show itself in a game in Kindergarten, then show up again the next year in another form and so on. Different light exposures to each topic, if you will. Singapore Math is more sequential, and builds up once a topic is mastered. It has more repetition and focuses on mastery of a topic before building on it. If you google, you will find quite a bit of info on each one. [ Reply | More
