We have been using Singapore Math for a couple of years and have always purchased the US editions. Someone has given me the next set that I need but they are not the US editions. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the regular and the US editions? Thanks!

there's actually 3 versions..

the non-US - it doesn't use US measures
the US edition
and the Standards edition which is US measures and changed around to follow the standardized tests

This brings back memories. I knew a mom who used that math program back when my first two where small. I liked how colorful the materials were and how pleasant to use.

I'll need to take another look at those before I choose for my youngest.

That is what my friend said, but I think she used the Japanese edition... or maybe that was the language they were studying...no their language studies were Korean.

I didn't do enough with languages with my older children. I hope to do better with my youngest and introduce her to Latin and Spanish and perhaps enough Greek for root word studies.
