Do we need and what to do for Pre-Algebra?


Recommended Posts

Cross-posted from the K-8 board since pre-algebra is often considered junior-high level material...

DD (15) is not very strong in math and is still struggling with basic operations (mainly multiplication and division). I'm hoping that he'll come back after the break with a new understanding... You know... That light that just all of a sudden comes on after you've stepped away from something for a while. We still have a few areas to cover before we're ready for the next step... fractions, decimals, percents.

 

We're currently using Basic Math from The Teaching Company for the remedial work and will be using Key To <Fractions, Decimals, Percents> along with Basic Math once we get there.

 

I'm wondering if we'll even need to do pre-algebra before heading into algebra. And, if so, what a good book/program is for pre-algebra.

 

Thanks,

Sue
