If I like Holt Geometry, what is similar for Alg 2?


Recommended Posts

I really like Holt Geometry that I think Jann in Texas recommended. I like the explanations, they have been thorough and rarely have we needed extra help.

 

I especially like how it approaches a concept from all different angles in one lesson. This struck me as important when we had the thread on here about how learning is most effective if a concept is apporached in different ways and places. This text seems to fit that description without being overly difficult.

 

What Alg 2 would be similar?

I can't tell from your post if you're using the on-line video instruction that accompanies Holt Geometry. I am also using Holt Geometry (based on Jann's recommendation) with my co-op class this year. Since I only meet with my students once per week for 90 minutes, we depend a great deal on the video instruction to "fill in the gaps." The videos are extremely well done and are presented by Prof. Burger, who has also done some of the Teaching Company math videos. Dd, who is in my co-op geometry class, likes Prof. Burger so well that we are planning to use Thinkwell Alg 2 next year just because he does those videos also.

 

I, too, would like to thank Jann for her contributions. Based on her recommendation, I'm using Lial's BCM for my prealgebra co-op class, and it's working great as well.
