Which Singapore Math level is right for my child?

Singapore Math is built for families and teachers of children in kindergarten through about grade 6 who want a rigorous, conceptual math program and have an adult available to teach most lessons (ages 5–12). Levels are placed by skill, so a level can sit above or below your child’s school grade. When in doubt, start one level lower: early success keeps kids going.

Questions

Is Singapore Math ahead of grade level?

Generally, yes. Reviewers describe it as more advanced than most U.S. programs. That is why the publisher says starting at an earlier level is common and perfectly appropriate for students switching in.
