• "Dear SGBox; I received my order in excellent condition and in a timely manner. Thank you very much. The math books are for my grandchildren, and I have become very interested in the abacus and am happily following the very clear directions. I am hoping to introduce the children in a local school to Singapore Math. So far, the teachers are not trained in the method, but a father in the school has plans for a math club. I will have him look over the method as portrayed in the books and then wait to see if he or other parents are interested. Again thank you for your prompt and excellent service. Sincerely yours, J F MD"

I love the materials and I have used your products in the past to supplement my 7 year old's education and will continue to do so in the future.
