Glancing through the math curricula that OP posted and that this is a school setting, it looks like her son is an intergrated math sequence. Nothing will line up for her when comparing traditional math courses in the homeschooling world. It will just ocme down to whether or not she is okay with that.
Yes, in Grade 9 & 10 there is Intergrated Math but in Grade 11 he will have Functions and in Grade 12 Advanced Functions and Calculus and Vectors.
So which courses do you recommend to do before his Grade 12? Algebra 2 and Pre Calculus? Kindly advice me. Thanks!

Why are you trying to supplement for your son? Is he bored because it’s too easy?
He wants to do Honours Level Maths work and to get ahead in his High school coursework.
-
Can we skip Geometry and whatever he has learned and is learning in his High school coursework, would be enough for Advanced courses Algebra 2 and Pre Calculus?
We are planning to go for Honours Level DO Algebra 2,so is this a good path for my son?
After seeing his last year and this year’s Math curriculum which Math would you suggest? Algebra 2?
My daughter is so slow in finishing her school work and doesn’t like Maths.
Does AOPS has self paced courses like DO?

What is being covered in Math 9 and Math 10? Is there a valid concern in the math education to require completely redoing alg 2 and geometry? Will he be redoing pre-cal 2? When you state get ahead, do you mean skip a class in his school and place into a higher level course?
Without understanding you concerns about your ds's math skills, it is hard to answer your questions. Both programs are meant to be full high school courses, not supplemental material. Foerster's strength is word problems. If he has already completed alg 2, you could just have him go through the text completing the word problem and possibly chat tests. Foerster's word problems are all in a single section, so it would be easy vs finding word problems spread throughout multiple sections.
I have not seen DO's materials. He has published his own workbooks for the lower levels. I think there are materials for pre-cal, but I am not sure. For pre-cal, the videos follow the Sullivan text. Working through just his videos is time consuming, so don't discount just the video time in your assessment.
Currently, my son is doing Grade 10 Maths High School and the curriculum is here:

My son has done Grade 9 last year from local High School and the table of content of Grade 9 were in the pics attached. You can see how much Geometry was included in that curriculum.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I mean MWB Foerster books videos.
We admitted our son in local school, where he took Grade 9 Maths and now he has Grade 10 Maths in the second semester of his High school. We want to supplement it, in order to make him strong and get ahead in his High school.
My question is about Math sequence that how he will cover these full year Math courses in a short time and to compare both Maths program.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am looking for some advice and or recommendations. Could anyone compare and write the Pros and cons for both the programs?
I am leaning towards Derek Owens Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 or Math Without Borders Foerster Algebra 2 but have some queries:
1) As my kiddos are in full time high school and currently doing 6 full time courses so whatever I researched on the WTM boards I got the idea that the homework problems are 1 page in DO for each section of chapter but don’t know the number of questions at the end of each chapter tests, reviews and exams. The support is good but I don’t know the support for the distance learners. Can DL students email DO if they get stuck during the course work for clarification of Practice problem? Are the solutions step by step in the manual for self grading? How many hours of homework'll be given each week? How many questions / practice problems are on each HW and Tests / Exam reviews and Exam papers? Would DL kids get their progress reports?
Could you compare DO Algebra 2 book with Foerster Algebra 2? Though I heard DO Algebra 2 book is light in a good amount of work problems or applications like Foerster's Algebra 2. Are both the books solid for STEM career?
My ds is in the mid of Grade 10 right now so if he starts DO Algebra 2 this month then after 7-8 months he can start DO Pre Calculus that will end by next year but how can I squeeze a full year DO Geometry from now until August 2020 and he can’t take any course in his High school Grade 12, as his school has two Maths named Advanced Functions and Calculus and Vectors to do and apply for Universities. Any recommendation for condensed solid Geometry course?
He is a brilliant Math student always achieved 97% to 99% in Maths in Landry Academy and VHSG and local schools here.
2) I am tempting to Foerster Algrebra 2 due it’s solidness, real life Word problems and having Pre Calculus in half of the book. Regarding Math Without Borders Math book, what I saw a sample at Rainbow Resource books online that every section of each chapter has too much practice questions like 50 I saw in one sample, though we don’t mind this much questions like Saxon books but time is a important thing to kids so can’t spent this long to do all practice questions and I think tutors may recommend to do odds or evens only but I don’t know that skipping practice questions will be good for my kiddos.
My dd's too slow and has a Mathphobia. Would DO be a good choice for such students? ls there any test assessment available to check the level?
Does MWB has good support for self paced students? We need a good support self paced courses as don’t want to let my kids stuck on any topic or problem and to waste the time and money.
Kindly correct me, if anything's not correct in this post. If anyone has any opinion and recommendations, kindly share it with me..
Thanks!

Thanks RootAnn! Could you kindly pm me your experience with Homeschool connections Alg 2 at your convenience? Rest which courses your dc has done through DO?
-
Thank you very much!!!
-
Yes, I have been searching on google and forums search’re really pain in the neck! Thanks!
-
Thanks! We chose it after posting my post on the forum so have to decide between DO, Homeschool connection and MWOB self paced version? Our preference would be rigorous curriculum and good support available for the self paced students as I am a non mathy person!
-
@calbear Do you have experience with Mathwithoutborders?
I have seen Homeschoolconnectionsonline Maths Algrebra 2 with Forester book as a recorded class option so any opinion for which Forester Algebra 2 I go for? Which one has more support available if a student gets stuck during the course work?
Does Forester’s Algrebra 2 contains half Algebra, half Pre calculus and some Geometry? Is this book intended to use for 2 years? If it’s half pre calculus then do students after finishing this book go to Calculus?
Is Forester Algebra 2 a solid choice for stem career?
Thanks.
-
Thanks gstharr and mom2scouts for replying. Are these courses rigorous enough to for the Computer/Software Engineering field subjects? Will students be fully well prepared for Pre Calculus and Calculus classes after Algebra 2?

My son's in public high school,a math lover and straight A+ grader and would like to strengthen more and advance his math skills.Usually,he's getting help with this YouTube channel The organic chemistry tutor.(lf anyone knows any other most useful free videos channel then please let me know for Algebra 2 and Geometry course). He's looking for self paced,rigorous and some practice problems course so he has narrowed down the search with these choices:
Homeschoolconnectons: Recorded course: Forester Algebra 2, Parts One and Two ----How many practice problems are in each section of a unit usually?
Mr. D Maths How many practice problems are in each section of a unit usually?
https://coolmathguy.com/course/algebra-2 How many practice problems are in each section of a unit usually?
Do we have to buy text books for all these courses? Would there be Solution Manual for these courses? ls the getting instructor access for grading and tutoring beneficial for this course?How does tutoring and grading work in self paced courses? Are the tutors available by email or any other source if the student will have some confusions during the coursework?
Could I get some experiences of those who have used either/or or all three of these resources?Which one you prefer and why? I'm interested in the rigorous and stem career self paced Algebra 2.Geometry, Pre calculus and Calculus courses? lf anyone has experience with any one of these or any other even Summer intensive Math courses, then kindly let me know that how much time would he need to watch videos and practice for each day as he is enrolled in full time school and already has a load of full time six courses this semester. I need to know if the price is worth it with your feedback.
Thx!

Thanks RootAnn for responding!

My son has done Eng 3:LS and currently doing Eng 4l5 British Literature course through TPS. Has anyone done TPS English 6: College British or American Literature and Composition course for the high schooler? How much is the course load? How many essays and readings are included? I'm wondering if this class proves beneficial for more advanced courses as a non AP Course? Any experience with Mrs.Louise Woods? Experiences and recommendations please!
Note: Living in Canada, my son won`t get any college or High school credits for this course but will this advance his literary analysis and writing skills more than Eng 4/5 course?

Wanted to give an update on LA2 at Wilson Hill Academy. My son, who can read but never chooses to read in his free time, loves the class. It is crossing off my list all the things I want to do weekly, but often don't get to. He is also putting more effort into the class than he will for me. Here is a description of what they are doing beside reading literature.
Day 1 - Dictation, go over vocabulary homework, Classroom Connection grammar/capitalizaion/etc. lesson (students finish the lesson for homework)
Day 2 - Dictation, discuss the literature, Classroom Connection review & go over writing assignment
Homework due on Saturdays at 11:59pm
1. Dictation (done in class) & copywork - Parents checks
2. Practical Practice - open book quiz that has them do exercises that cover grammar/Cap rules learned/reviewed in class. My son does this on Friday
3. Dynamic Discussion - write a response about the literature and respond to a classmate (very specific directions given each week) My son does this on Thursday
4. Recitation project - they have about 3-4 weeks to memorize a poem. On the due date they record themselves and submit it. Poem is on his mirror to go over each time he brushes his teeth.
5. Writing Project - This week they had to turn "telling" sentences into "showing" sentences. Next week they write a setting description first draft. My son does this on Friday
Hope this is helpful!
Thanks for your detailed reply. May l ask that how many writing projects till now from September your dc has done? ls their writing each week? Could you clarify what types of writing beside,summary,description writings they have written?

We are only starting our third week but so far we are happy with Latin and composition classes from Memoria Press Online Academy.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. May I ask about MPOA Composition classes. Is your dc doing Fable or Narrative? Which teacher do you recommend? How many final essays does a child write per semester? Do you see improvement in your child’s writings? Do you recommend these writing classes? Could you kindly share the pros and cons? Thanks.

Anyone here have a child taking Upper Elementary Language Arts 1,2 or 3 classes with them? Are these online classes for Grades 4, 5, and 6 worth them? I am considering it for fall 2019.
Do they have comprehension quizzes due regularly, paragraph writing, academic papers, and a grammar practices in a year? Aren’t the reading books level high for the 4th Graders? How many writing assignments are in these classes? How long are the classes?
What are your opinions on those as far as difficulty, appropriate level of work for the ages, etc.? Are they rigorous?
Thanks in advance for any input.
