Sharon37127 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Has anyone found a strong online option for high school math- preferably for a gifted student? Everything I research ends up with very little practice and problems. *This" is what I want the digital aspect for. I don't mind teaching math and have a strong understanding myself, but I need the bank of problems and immediate answers and solutions. Any ideas?

MarkT Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 look into AoPS - you can get a student text and the solutions manual Why would you need online if you want to teach it? see the pinned thread http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/542418-homeschool-high-school-math/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoPS would provide that. I believe you could find lesson plans out there somewhere maybe a Hive member would share theirs. We used the Introduction to Algebra textbook for afterschool (summer) supplement - it is challenging. that text has some free videos https://artofproblemsolving.com/videos/algebra1 (if you go the AoPS route I would start with the Prealgbra text this year if that is where your student is). Foerster is another good choice - you should be able to purchase the solutions manual. FOERSTER (and MATH WITHOUT BORDERS videos) is fairly challenging as well.

3andme Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 There's also Math XL (you can purchase an indiv. student license for $25) or Aleks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisabees Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Do you need it for this year? If not, WTMA offers an AoPS class that has worked very well here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think AOPS would work well for this if you used Alcumus as your primary problem bank for practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think AOPS would work well for this if you used Alcumus as your primary problem bank for practice. I agree with this, but I think we should add the caveat that Alcumus only covers the Intro level material. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlock math is all online and has what appears to be unlimited problem sets (the student does as many sets as is necessary to master the concept). Every problem is immediately graded and the student is presented with the answer and the worked solution (including every single possible step). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear Creek Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Have you used Unlock math https://www.unlockmath.com/ ? If so how was the rigor? I have two students currently using it - one is doing prealgebra and the other is doing geometry. I would say it is solidly college-prep. The instructor teaches the concept in the video, and the lesson problems are designed so the student has to apply that concept in a variety of ways - they don't just do a set of problems exactly like the ones used to illustrate the concept in the video. I have not used another geometry program to make a comparison, but the prealgebra is on par with Dolciani prealgebra, which I own and have used to supplement another program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Here is a Cathy Duffy review for UnlockMath. It is for pre-algebra but it seems to explain the program format well... http://cathyduffyreviews.com/homeschool-reviews-core-curricula/math/grades-7-8/unlockmath-review 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrayshire Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I have two high schoolers using Mr.D Math.... Alg. I and II They have lots of review, quizzes, and practice problems. They also have certain days to go to the online tutor session if they are having trouble. This is the first math that my girls have actually learned best from.

MatthewBlackwood Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) My wife and I met Dennis DiNoia (Mr.D) in Alaska at homeschool conventions there this year. We were very impressed with his ability to connect with students and his passion for teaching math. We were fortunate enough to forge a friendship over several conventions that we both attended and would even send parents to each others booths telling them to go with whichever teacher their child connected with better. It was really refreshing to be able to have a non-competitive relationship with a "competitor :) Edited December 7, 2017 by MatthewBlackwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
