I'm trying to find out if the student workbooks will lay flat when opened...are they spiral-bound? I'm specifically looking at Math 5 and with so many pages in the student workbook I'm concerned about my dd's ability to deal with such a thick book if it won't stay open easily.

They are spiral bound (at least the Algebra I and pre-algebra are). I'm assuming that 5 will be the same. I'm expecting mine to be delivered today, so I will post again when it arrives.

Thanks, Janet!

Hi Laurie -

The UPS man stopped by and now I can confirm that the "5" book is spiral bound. It is thick though and I'm not sure it would be very comfortable to work in it - my son has been using scrap paper anyway when he's been working at the computer (We've had the first two disks for a while and I've been printing off the first lessons on my printer) so I'm not sure which way he'll choose to do it now.

It is spiral, and I would assume 5 would be the same. For what it is worth, DD has never even opened the book. She just works her problems on a dry-erase board and inputs them in the computer. She is going to be in for a rude awaking when she starts Pre-Algebra here in a couple of weeks.
