Mom2TheTeam Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I'm sure this is a silly question. :D We are just starting 1b. I have the HIG for 1a and 1b, but I bought them second hand but unused. The seller did not mention anything about cutting the bindings off and having the bound. They are both spiral bound. I assumed this is how they came from Singapore and was at least part of the reason for the higher cost...and I like it bound....but, I've recently come across a 2a guide that wasn't bound (and was called Home Educator's Support Guide instead of HIG) and I just saw someone else post that they had their HIG spiral bound. So, now I'm confused..... :confused1: And, if you happen to know, is the above mentioned Home Educator's Support Guide the same as the HIG?? It is a good price...maybe I should buy it. Help out a Newbie! Thanks for any insight into this you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Standards Edition comes spiral bound. I don't know about the US edition. I have no idea what the Home Educator's Support Guide would be. That's strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2TheTeam Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks! It is a US. I would assume it is the same. However, the one that I just saw that indicated it had been done by the owner is also a US as is the "support guide" I saw that is not....the plot thickens...:lol: anyone with a US want to chime in for me?

Alice Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I use the US edition. The 1A and 1B are spiral bound. The ones for the later years are not (I can’t remember if they are all not spiral bound or when it switches. I know that at least the levels 4 and 5 are not spiral bound. Those are the ones I most recently used and I’m too lazy to look for the other years. :)) Mine are all called Home Instructor Guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2TheTeam Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Odd that they aren't the same for all levels. Thank you for the insight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 All of my standards HIGs are spiral bound. I prefer the standards HIGs to the U.S. Editions anyway, they are better HIGs and the content is similar. Standards has a bit more review, I also like that, but you could skip some review if you think it is too much review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scbusf Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Sonlight has published some Singapore Math books. I wonder if that's what the Home Educator's Support Guide is. I don't know if the content is different, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if the content is different, though. It was originally bought from Sonlight. Now though, they sell HIG's....so, maybe it is really old.
