My daughter is starting Algebra 1 in 7th, so my concern is that has not had any video or online instruction yet (though her older siblings have). Any experiences (good or bad) with the above after MM7? My three options are: I teach her Foerster’s Algebra 1, she does Foerster’s with Math without Borders videos, or Derek Owens? Thanks

Would you mind PM’ing me some names of the more available ones she liked to give us a starting point? Thanks.

I’m considering it for my 6th grader. Is it too late to get good teachers scheduled if I join now? Also, how do you try teachers and find one you like? (Don’t quite understand how that works).

After she finishes MM 7, dd will go on to Foerster’s Algebra 1. Should I purchase the old 1999 edition or the newer one? What’s the difference between them? Also, if you’ve used Foerster’s, how many problems did you assign in each chapter? All the odds or evens? Thanks in advance 😊

Is community college Precalculus different than high school Precalculus? I mean is t taken after high school Precalculus or instead of? And what online AP Statistics class do you all recommend?

My dd, now in 10th grade, wants to major in English. She’ll do Precalculus in 11th. What should she do in 12th? Is there a point in her taking AP Calculus? (Note that she’ll already be doing AP English). So what other DE or AP can she take that would count toward her general education math requirement in college?

I second Erica Meltzer’s SAT prep books.

I’ve been searching for a simple homeschooling planner for each of my kids but can’t find what I’m looking for. First of all, I want a 2 page weekly spread with weekdays on top and subjects on the left (like Well-Planned Day). BUT I don’t want the weekdays written (I live abroad and our week starts Sundays). I also prefer to write in the subjects myself. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks! This looks good!

Can you suggest which literature guides for individual books are good?

What are good Literature curricula which help you dig deeper in the books for my 6th grader (something like Center for Lit in terms of literary analysis but not an online class)? I believe Excellence in Literature starts in 8th grade. Memorial Press has mainly literal comprehension questions, which isn’t what I’m looking for. Suggestions?

I was planning to have my daughter take WTMA Rhetoric 1 with Marissa Henry, but the timing that would work is full now! This year she’s been taking an essay course at Open Tent Academy (with Eva Goldstein). What online writing course would be of similar quality to Rhetoric and would help prepare her to take AP Language the year after? Or if you’ve had experience with Rai d’Honore in WRMA Rhetoric 1, can you please PM me?

Never mind...found the other post on this.

Although I’m a huge fan of FLL (we did all 4), GWTM didn’t work for us. There was no retention, even with my offer daughter who is quite advanced academically. And the schedule was not a realistic pace at all. We did AG, and it’s working very well.

So do you think she can suffice with WTMA Rhetoric 1 in 10th and be prepared to take AP English Language in 11th? In that case, she could do AP Lit in 12th.

I switched my daughter from Saxon to Derek Owens and it’s been great. And in future, if you want to consider live classes, I hear MyHomeschool Math Class is good.

Hi, hive; your advice will be much appreciated. My ninth grade dd is passionate about literature and writing, and will probably major in English. I want to make sure I'm planning correctly to enable her to take AP English Language (and possibly AP English Literature) with PAHomeschoolers. Besides grammar, this is her plan thus far: This year she's doing Center for Lit American Literature and Open Tent Academy's All About Essays (Eva Goldstein). 10th grade: Center for Lit British Literature, WTMA Rhetoric 1 11th: WTMA Rhetoric 2. QUESTION 1: Will she be ready at this point (11th grade) to do PAH AP English Literature? 12th: PAH AP English Language QUESTION 2: Will WTMA Rhetoric 2 prepare her for this? QUESTION 3: Does it matter if you take AP English Lit or Language first? Is one harder than the other? Thanks!

After WWE 3 and some IEW, should she do Kilgallon Elementary or Middle?

Found it! Thanks!

Can you all share your experiences with this? We’ve done WWE 1-3, and some IEW, all of which she’s enjoyed. She is an average writer, neither averse to writing nor passionate about it. Is 5th grade too early for WWS1? (And if so, please suggest what to do meanwhile in 5th). Thanks!

Can you please send a link?

What did you like for Biology logic stage and why?
