Russian math-has anyone used this after Singapore 6B?

[Catherine]

Is it just more of the same, or would it present new information, or a very useful new way of approaching the old information? I am trying to figure out life after Singapore-LOL!

We haven't used it yet, but I've gone through the book. It does cover the gaps between Primary Math (US Edition) and Algebra, chief among these being negative integers and operations with rational numbers. Mathematics 6 is also less visual and looks, reads and feels more like formal math than Primary Maths in terms of its language, presentation, and notation. Some of the problems are quite challenging, and given its more mathy approach, I think its a good transition out of Primary Math into more advanced material, even when familiar concepts are presented in a different way.
