Singapore Question

Post by my3luvs » Sat May 14, 2011 12:23 am

US Ed or Standards Ed?

What is the difference?

dd is currently finishing up 4th grade public school and they use Envision Math which is a Conceptual/Visual math program. I have planned on using Horizons Math b/c she needs ALOT of repeition in order to "get it". BUT I really like the "mental math" aspect of Singapore.





TIA

Here is a link to Singapore that explains why they have different editions. Hopefully this will be helpful.

I did read that. I guess I am just trying to figure out if one is better than the other?
