Singapore Math and Zaner-Bloser Textbooks in New Zealand
February 21st, 2016We keep meeting homeschooling families who are having math and writing curricula issues in NZ, so here’s a quick post for anyone else going through this:
If you’re a homeschooling parent in New Zealand, you probably realize that getting quality materials here can be a challenge. Lots of us know that Singapore Math and Zaner-Bloser are the best math (or, “maths” as people say here) and writing programs, but they’re not readily available in NZ. Only one website here mentions Singapore Math products for sale and the few titles listed are always out of stock. Zaner-Bloser in NZ? Nothing. Zilch. Nada.
Here’s how we do it:
We order everything from Singapore Math and Zaner-Bloser in the U.S. and have it sent to our mail forwarder in the U.S., which then ships it to us in NZ. We use the YouShop service from NZ Post for this.
If you’re new to to Singapore Math, you’ll be presented with several different editions. In short: If you’re outside the U.S., chances are that you want the Standards Edition, which uses the metric system.
Happy Homeschooling in NZ!
