    Does anyone use MEP math for high school?

    This is an old thread, but want to bump up in case anyone could provide anymore thoughts on using MEP in high school.

     

    I have a daughter who has finished pre-algebra but needs more practice before moving on to algebra.  I have a son about 3/4 the way through algebra (both using Derek Owens)

     

    I would like to move to an integrated approach for both of them.  I was thinking of having them start in Year 7 and 8.  Would that be a good placement? 

     

    Any other thoughts on using MEP in high school?  Looks like we would work through Level A Pure Mathematics to get through Calculus?

    My older two kids are in their second year of taking writing classes with WTMA.  Their Expository Writing 1 teacher is not coming back next year.

     

    I was wondering if anyone could share any thoughts or reviews on the three teachers teaching Expository Writing 2 next year?  As much as we love the classes, wish they would have more luck with teachers staying for more than one year.  This will be their third teacher in three years.

    Favorite Root word program

    My 10 year old daughter in done with AAS, she has finished Level 7.

     

    I was thinking having her work on root words to further practice spelling and also word on vocabulary.

     

    Favorite programs?  I have looked at English from the Roots Up.  However, I think she would prefer a workbook format

    We bought the DO pre-alg program(cheaper than the monthly option) and while it has good review, it is also a great program. DS is doing Jacob's Alg now and doing that pre-alg year was good for his confidence. DD is now doing it and we have found she needed more solidifying in some areas. I highly recommend DO pre-alg!!

     

    There are word problems, but not tons. Easy to supplement. I found the program did well at offering examples in everything but not tons of work. I think if a child was struggling you could add a word problem supplement. My kids were a little upset about the # of videos some days had, but time wise it wasn't too much. And the pages have plenty of white space so it doesn't feel like too much work.

     

    Tess, I know this is an old thread, but wondering if you had a suggestion for a word problem book to use to supplement with DO pre-algebra?
