Colleen in SEVA Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 So now that I have invested a large amount of money in the first level of My Pals Are Here Science, they are CHANGING it????? Does anyone know anything about this? It doesn't seem like I can go from 3A/3B right into any of the other books (though the new books have the same names as the current chapters, so perhaps they are just re-doing the order things are taught in, keeping the concepts all together?). This is SO frustrating, this week I also found out that now that I am *FINALLY* starting to scrapbook and have purchased hundreds of dollars worth of Creative Memories products in recent weeks, they are changing the size of the books and what I have will only be available for another year. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. :( old: http://www.singaporemath.com/MPH_Science_s/66.htm new: http://www.marshallcavendish.com/marshallcavendish/education/sg/news/mphscience.xml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrtle Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 It may be the case that this new edition has been out for a long time and the MOE is continuing to print up old editions for export. I think this may be true because it seems that the 3rd edition math that we homeschoolers use stopped being used in Singapore 7 years ago! From SGBox.com "NONE of the primary schools in Singapore is using Primary Mathematics (Third Edition) for 1st Grade / Primary 1 through 6th Grade / Primary 6 beginning 2001, as it is based on the old and outdated 1999 Reduced-Content Singapore Math curriculum. It has been replaced with several new and better series that are written based on the new and improved 2001 Singapore Math curriculum in all the primary schools in Singapore from 1st Grade / Primary 1 through 6th Grade / Primary 6." I don't know how much "better" it is, but the point I'm trying to make is that there are all sorts of editions of math and science floating around. I ordered the 7th grade interactive science six months or so ago only to order the new edition when the old edition was discontinued. The thing to do is to ask Jenny on the singmath forums if there are any plans to discontinue to the primary science series for a newer edition. I don't know that the newer editions are preferable, I remember a post a long time ago by Jenny saying that they were including more nationalistic content in both the math and the science and from what I've seen the new science edition of Interactive Science also seems to include more "fuzzy" writing, technology, and internet assignments than before with only the most tenuous connection to science.

coffeefreak Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Shouldn't your Creative Memories rep have told you that? I would return it all. Don't they have a money back guarentee? Have a better day!

jg_puppy Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 How are Creative Memories changing the pages? I have a few albums that I haven't completed and I am just curious. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
