<shrug> Two different choices.
I think that Everyday Math can be good if it's taught well by someone who really gets the philosophy behind it. If that's not the case, it can be pretty awful, from what I hear.
Singapore has much to recommend it, especially for a GT child, since it doesn't have as much repetition as many other curricula do. But it has a lot of focus on mental math, which isn't a strength for all kids. And if it's taught without the hands-on stuff, then, really, it's just another workbook. Bleh.
Actually, I think that if *either one* is taught without the hands-on activities and games that accompany both curricula, things won't go very well. I've heard (all second-hand, mind you) that it's when teachers skip the games for Everyday Math--thinking that it's disposable and not the teaching time that it is!--that this is when things go wrong.
Either way, I think it comes down to the teachers and their ability to translate the curriculum to the students far more than the curriculum itself. IMHO...
