And the second year of Singapore Primary Maths 3rd Edition textbooks and workbooks with teaching guide book for the 7 yr old. A number of bloggers' have suggest to get only the textbooks and guide books and the Singapore Math® Intensive Practice books from grade 2 and upwards only. People have also suggested the guide books for year 1. What do you think?<br /><br />Totally agree with your blog aboat the British education system.
