lotsofpumpkins Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I recently purchased guides for Singapore Primary 1A, 1B, and 2A US Edition. I thought I was getting Home Instructor Guides for all of them (I bought them used), but they arrived today and 1A and 1B are Teacher's Guides published by the Rosenbaum Foundation. 2A is the HIG I expected. I really don't want to deal with the hassle of sending the teacher's guides back to the seller and trying to find the HIG's for a good price. This was an awesome deal so I'd really like to keep them. Just wondering if there's any particular reason why I shouldn't. Thanks! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Definately a good deal. I think the HIG are for our standard edition are really inexpensive, about $17, versus $45. If you can make them work great, if not maybe it would be worth looking for the HIG used? I would just wonder how to adapt it to home, I really like our HIG because it gives me all kinds of ideas for activities with only one or two kids.

urban mama Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The same thing happened to me when I bought used. I have the teachers guide for 1A/1B, but the HIG for 2-3. Do they make a HIG for 1A/1B? Sonlight does not carry the HIG until level 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twogirlsmommy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I was under the impression that the HIG started in book 2A and the guides you have are for 1A/1B. I also have these teachers guides because at the time that is what was available. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) I just pulled one of mine (1B) off the shelf, and it does say Home Instructor Guide on it. Hmmm.... ETA: Mine is spiral bound though and published in 2007 by singaporemath.com. Edited August 4, 2009 by darlasowders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfgivas Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 one year i bought both the teachers guides and the home instruction guides. i discovered i used the teachers guides daily, and the home instruction guide only occasionally. the difference for me was in the teaching style, and i love the way singapore teachers help lead their students to knowledge rather than giving it to them. fwiw ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofpumpkins Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 I've had a chance to look through them some, and the teacher's guides are going to be fine. I am planning on switching to the standards edition once dd gets to 2B (I read that it's okay to go from 2A US Ed to 2B Standards), and I've heard that the Standards HIG's are great, so I'll definitely make sure i have the right books then! BTW, 1A/1B DOES have HIG's, published by singaporemath.com, as a previous poster stated. Sonlight published the HIG's for 2A and up. The standard edition HIG's are all from singaporemath.com though, I believe. I guess the seller I bought from either misunderstood me or didn't realize that there is actually a HIG for 1A/1B.
