Singapore Math Source - a blog from a national trainer
Cassy Turner is a trainer in Singapore Math that has a blog I have found very helpful in the past week. The last two posts I have added have come from this site. I have been in contact with her and she is a great source of information on Singapore Math. If you use Twitter, you can follow her: @Cassyt.

Singapore Math Blog from Math in Focus trainer
Kelli Trainer has a Singapore Math Blog. She was a trainer for us in late July and in October. You can subscribe, so you will get notification when a new post has been added. Look at her post dated November 28 to learn about the free online math interactives at MathFrames. Great visuals and explanations to see what is available. There are games for number bonds, multiples, patterns, missing digits when multipliying, etc.
Tobe Joffe recommened MathFrames to me this week. Now you can get an overview on one page before you try it. http://www.mathsframe.co.uk/free_resources.asp
