PARENT REVIEWS:
Paige, parent of a 5th and 7th grader
"Ms. Holiday has been an absolute gift to our family. She is one of the most prepared and organized teachers we have ever worked with. Every aspect of her class is thoughtfully structured and clearly communicated. It truly is turnkey. As a parent, I never have to wonder what assignment is due, where to find materials, or what the expectations are for the week. Everything is laid out in a way that is logical, accessible, and easy to follow.
What sets Ms. Holiday apart is her commitment to true mastery. She reviews concepts thoroughly and makes sure students genuinely understand them before moving on. She uses multiple tools and teaching methods to explain concepts, which is incredibly helpful for kids who learn in different ways. If something doesn’t click the first time, she has another way to approach it. We have three kids who all learn very differently and she has done a great job with their individual learning styles.
As a homeschool mom, what I value most is that this is done for me, and done exceptionally well. I don't have the bandwidth to take on math for my three kids, so it is a huge relief that it is off my plate. I highly recommend Ms. Holiday-- I just wish she taught high school grades too!"
Connie, parent of a 3rd grader
"My daughter is a third grader who LOVES Mrs. Holiday's online Singapore Math class because it is so engaging and everything about it is JUST RIGHT. The games, books, math tools, review/practice work, discussions, class interactions, and Mrs. Holiday's encouragement and enthusiasm all work together to make every class absolutely fantastic!
My daughter is engaged from start to finish, and motivated between sessions to do the homework, which includes lots of games that we play as a family.
As a parent who is very interested in math education, I can see that Mrs. Holiday uses all the best methods to teach math effectively, which is the whole point of Singapore Math.
We were concerned that the Dimensions Math series would be too hard, but Mrs. Holiday explains everything so well and provides the perfect amount of scaffolding to make the work accessible with just the right amount of challenge.
We also like that every class is recorded and available for later viewing on the days your child can't make it to class. It has been such a great help! My daughter gives this class 5 out 5 stars and can't wait to move on to the next level in the fall!"
Stacey, parent of a 4th, 2nd, and K student
"As a homeschool parent, I felt the best way for my children to learn math is from someone who is enthusiastic about math and teaching and that’s exactly what we’ve found in Mrs. Holiday.
My oldest has taken classes with her for five years, and having the same teacher has brought wonderful consistency and steady growth. Mrs. Holiday’s experience with Singapore Dimensions enables her to explain concepts clearly and thoroughly, yet if students or parents ever have questions, she is always happy to take the time to help.
Her live online classes are both engaging and well-structured, and my children especially look forward to the fun review games at the end of each class. It’s a highlight that reinforces what they’ve learned in such an enjoyable way.
Mrs. Holiday provides parents with an organized schedule including assigned homework. It's clear to me what is being taught in class and how to support my children. Overall, her classes are an effective, encouraging, and truly positive math experience. We're so grateful for her and wholeheartedly recommend her classes!"
ABOUT ME
My name is Amanda Holiday, and I’m passionate about helping students develop confidence and excitement when it comes to math!
I’ve been teaching math for 18 years, with the past 16 years dedicated specifically to Singapore Math.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Middle Grades Education from the College of Charleston in South Carolina in 2009, with concentrations in both math and social studies.
I currently live in sunny Southern California with my husband, our 12-year-old twin boys, and our 9-year-old daughter. I love being outdoors, running, traveling, reading, making memories with my family, and crafting!
It would be an honor to teach your child this year—I’m so excited for the journey ahead!

WHY CHOOSE
AMANDA HOLIDAY'S MATH CLASSES?
Math FACTS
Having basic math facts automatized helps students more quickly and easily solve the higher level problems they will face as they progress in math. I have created a program, that is included in your math class, to help your child keep up with those math facts at home! I have taken the basic math facts needed at each grade level and broken them down into weekly chunks to practice. We begin each class with a math facts exercise, and then students are assigned those problems to practice at home during the week!
MATH STORYBOOKS
I have a large library of math storybooks that provide a rich opportunity to build not only math understanding, but also literacy skills. These storybooks are worked into my lessons, either in our live instruction time, or in a recorded read-aloud I send to you during the week.
I also share storybooks about famous mathematicians and their contributions to society— mathematicians who are men and women, and mathematicians of diverse races and ethnicities— so every student can identify with a mathematical role model and see themselves as a mathematician!
Hands-On
Even while we are learning online, my students are being introduced to math concepts concretely, using hands-on activities with things they have around their homes to continue to make math engaging and memorable! I have a special document camera that I use so students can see my face and the hands-on work I am walking them through as we are learning— just like if we were in a classroom together.
Supplemental Games + Activities
During class, students engage in live math games with one another to practice the math concepts we are learning.
I also send ideas for activities and games you can use at home to further supplement what they learned in class that week.

WHY CHOOSE SINGAPORE MATH?
Have you seen the results?
An international test, the TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study), assesses math and science competency in countries around the world. Singapore students consistently rank among the top.
TIMSS 4th grade mathematics scores and rankings of Singapore and US.
TIMSS 8th grade mathematics scores and rankings of Singapore and US.

CPA approach
The Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract (CPA) approach helps students develop a deep understanding of math through building on their knowledge. This highly effective framework introduces concepts in a tangible way and progresses to increasing levels of abstraction.
-
Concrete phase: Students use physical objects to represent problems.
-
Pictorial phase: Students make a mental connection between the objects they just handled and visual representations of those objects. For example, real oranges (or counters standing in for oranges) are now represented as drawings of oranges.
-
Abstract phase: Students use numbers, math symbols (+, −, ×, ÷) and algorithms to represent and solve problems.
Bar Modeling
Bar models are a versatile tool that students can use to visualize a range of math concepts, such as fractions, ratios, percentages, and more. Drawing bar models for word problems allows students to determine the knowns and unknowns in a given situation. It extends the CPA approach, especially the pictorial phase, as it allows students to illustrate the mathematical information given in problems. It prepares them to understand more complex math on a conceptual level.
Mental math
+
Number bonds
The Singapore Math approach teaches techniques and skills to easily and accurately perform mental math. These strategies help students develop number sense and flexibility in thinking about numbers.
Many mental math strategies involve splitting up numbers into parts, then performing operations on them in a different order from the original problem. The thought processes involved in mental math are often illustrated by number bonds.
Number bonds are a pictorial technique that show the part-whole relationship between numbers. This method helps early elementary students work towards addition and subtraction, and illustrates strategies to solve problems mentally. Using number bonds fosters a solid number sense that helps students throughout their math education.
