Hi, We are starting 7th grade this next year and I am struggling with our science choice. For those that have used the upper levels of BJU and Apologia science, which curriculum did you feel did a better job of teaching applied thinking? Which curriculum did your child seem to retain long term? I do not want a curriculum that focuses on rote memorization (memorize and plug it into the answers), but a curriculum that actually applies scientific principles and makes the student think about how these principles are used in the curriculum's problems, labs, and applications. I am more concerned with my student's learning the principles that they can retain and apply to their lives as facts without application tend to be quickly forgotten. Thank you for your input!

Co-op or no co-op, that is the question
aelllc replied to mommyoffive's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Lori D., thank you for the reply. This gives me a great starting point of possible curriculum / expectations. I am starting to plan early, so I will have plenty of time to develop a class syllabus. -

Lori D. I am wondering what curriculum or book choices you are using to teach a rigorous co-op Lit/Comp class? I am interested in teaching these at my co-op and am wondering what works well in a co-op setting. Thank you! -

Glencoe Geometry Textbook: Glencoe Geometry ISBN-10: 0078651069 2005 Online Class? Free online videos Mr Hammys Math Class Teacher Guide/Additional Materials: Yes. Available on Amazon.

Hi, Searching through the forums here, someone had posted these you tube videos of a geometry class: Mr Hammys Math Class They are a complete geometry video course that a teacher had posted. The only confusion I think was over which textbook was being used in for the course. I did some research and contacted the author of the videos and his response was that the course was based on a Glencoe Geometry textbook about 8 years ago. He was not sure which edition. I believe it is the 2005 Glencoe Geometry ISBN-10: 0078651069 as the chapter topics line up. This might be an inexpensive way for someone to have a complete Geometry course with video teaching for their student this year. I personally have never seen the textbook so am not sure how it lines up next to say Jacobs or Jurgenson. If someone has looked at it and can do a comparison that would be great.

I would keep them in totally separate math curriculum programs,so as not to foster bad feelings amongst siblings. Have them play some math games together though for practice, maybe the Right Start card games set?
