SereneHome Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Between US and Standard edition? I can get a really good deal on next-next year books, but it's US and I already have Standard for this year. Thoughts? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I think between years you can, but realize that US is missing some topics that Standards has (like negative numbers and something else I can't remember now). That won't affect you until about grade 4, I think. There is a FAQ about this on the Singapore Math website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SereneHome Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Thank you. I am using 1A and 1B for this year and I am getting 3A and 3B, so hopefully I'll be OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennynd Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 You will be fine. I think it is ok before 4th grade. They are almost identical. But 4a and on, it will be a bit harder to switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SereneHome Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Good, I got the same from their FAQ, so hopefully, I didn't waste my money :) thank you, ladies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 And for what it's worth, we went straight through 5B with the US edition and DS's mathematical grounding is so solid from the program that we simply skipped level six entirely and went straight to DM7. He picked up negative numbers on his own and didn't need a book to teach him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Strawberry Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 We went back and forth. It's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 We go back and forth and even use them simultaneously (with twins). It works for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2TheTeam Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 We go back and forth and even use them simultaneously (with twins). It works for us. I know I'm strange, but I want to use them together. I want the better HIG that comes with the standards ed. but I prefer the US. We used US for 1a and b. I have standard for 2a, but I also have the 2a US text book because I got such an awesome deal on all the US text books. I have 2b workbook and IP and text. So, I'm thinking of going back to US for 2b. Really, I'm just really not settled on what I want yet. I feel like I need to use both (with both types of HIG's before I can decided...1a and 1b are made by Singapore and much more like the standards guides than the US. What can I say...I'm indecisive when it comes to math, but I'm trying hard to decide and stick with it. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
