Thank you for taking the time to compare. That helps so much and it makes me feel better knowing it covers all the topics. Signing up now.
How did Unlock Math go for you last year?
Thanks!

This really helped thank you. I was concerned when I saw 30. It actually discredits the rigor of the program. Do you know if kids can do well on SAT with this program, that it covers all the necessary skills and topics?
Thank you so much!!

Have you considered Unlock Math? We haven't used the precalculus level yet, but we are very impressed with the way the program works. The instructor is very clear, and there's unlimited practice and built-in review to keep concepts fresh. There is a 30-day free trial, so your ds can try it to see if the level is the right fit; keep in mind that the first unit is review. Click "Curriculum" at the top to see the scope and sequence. FWIW, the instructor/course creator used to teach AP Calculus at a private school, so she knows what's needed in pre-calc to get someone ready for calculus.
On Unlock Math, the site says the student will spend an average of 30 min for each lesson. For Algebra 1 or any upper level math, is this really enough? Is the course so well done that less time can be spent to master the material? And is it more rigorous than Saxon?
what precalc for this kid?

Thank you! I spoke to Matthew Blackwood today and he said when they gave the 30 minute guideline in the FAQ, it was back when they only offered Pre-Algebra. He indicated he would remove that. So for the higher level maths it would be more. He said Algebra 1 would be more like 45-90 minutes. He also felt the course was one step below AoPS in rigor/intensity but higher than comparable programs out there. I'm planning to give it a shot beginning Aug 17 and see how it goes. I'm very excited to have it at less than private school price and relatively hands off for me. As an FYI, he called me within 5-10 minutes after filling out the online question submission form.
