I'm on a mission to detail a curriculum for my soon to be eighth grader in Algebra. Any suggestions?
Math background is Singapore and Khan Academy. Edit: Did a little research today and I kind of like the Life of Fred course. My oldest is doesn't like math but is a voracious reader. Anyone have any experience with it? |

Each child will respond differently to the concepts of Algebra.
Our 3 oldest have all had the areas they excelled in and struggled with. Let me ask the wife what she used with them. |

My wife used Bob Jones, said it was pretty good.
Said Teaching Textbooks was pretty basic. |

We used Saxon. One kid mainstreamed into AP Calc in 9th grade; another in 10th and went on to a PhD in mechanical engineering. So they learned the math well, clearly.

Teaching Textbooks is working well for us so far.

This thread is a good reminder why homeschooling is so awesome.
It is not a one size fits all situation, there are many answers to the same question, everyone is different and what may work for one person won't work for another. |
