journey00 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 My sr. dd will be attending cc next yr. and will take the placement test to for a remedial math class and then work towards college algebra. That's all good with us. But, I don't want her to not do any math her sr. yr. in high school. I want to keep math concepts fresh that might help her in that remedial class. She's taken Alg 1, Geom, and Consumer Math. I would appreciate any suggestions. Maybe even something fun (gasp), or unconventional. Thanks.

Mike in SA Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Number theory, if she is up for it. It's foundational, and would actually be a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Academy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 She could work through Videotext Algebra, which would cover all of Algebra thoroughly & systematically & prepare her for college Algebra. With the earlier units being mostly review she could finish it in a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Lial's Intermediate Algebra will give a great big review of Algebra I and then give a taste of Algebra II. The presentation is clear and systematic. I wouldn't necessarily call this fun though. The Jacobs Human Endeavor book that TarynB mentioned might be a fun choice. I know my son learned things in there that helped him in Algebra II/precalculus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
