  1. BetterExplained Math is an interesting site example: https://betterexplained.com/articles/golden-ratio-intuition/
  2. It is actually hard to find since the forum search tool can't seem to find it. It probably needs to get pinned.
  3. You are welcome. Good luck, maybe y'all could collaborate and create a basic online APHG course.
  4. this may help: course material http://www.gavirtuallearning.org/Resources/APHumanGeography.aspx syllabus http://vlacs.org/competencies/ap-human-geography/ http://valdezonline.weebly.com/ap-human-geography.html practice tests https://www.varsitytutors.com/ap_human_geography-practice-tests book http://www.phschool.com/webcodes10/index.cfm?wcprefix=lik&wcsuffix=3002&area=view create an inexpensive course to offer - there is some demand invite "overpeople"
  5. some reviews here: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/638806-master-list-of-on-line-classes/
  6. Anything available online from the CC? I know your student prefers live classes (so does mine) but maybe one online per semester.
  7. Since your student is STEM oriented, I would get a copy of Foerster textbooks even if only for the problem sets. Used copies are inexpensive. Answers for odds provided so we did those.
  8. It depends on the CC. Our CCs coordinate with the state U. The same material is covered in Calc 1 and almost all the students expect to transfer for a B.S. degree.
  9. sample syllabus for reference: http://kolbe.org/files/9614/1027/6728/Algebra1Foerster2014SemesterSAMPLE.pdf If your student continues through some of the summer than he should have enough Algebra to take both Geometry and Clover Creek Physics. The following year you could finish Algebra 1 before moving on to Algebra 2.
  10. I believe Industrial Design is more on the artistic side not to be confused with Industrial Engineering. Of course, there are probably over-laps. Think "form" along with "function".
  11. http://collegemajors101.com/college-majors/industrial-design/2465/accredited-schools one in CO http://www.msudenver.edu/ind/academicresources/coursedescriptions/ Does your CC have similar courses? I would contact MSU Denver to see what CC in your state have transferable courses. ======================================= also http://www.idsa.org/education/id-schools Can you get a job with a two year degree?
  12. Two year "tech degree" courses hardly ever transfer to 4 year schools. This is expected.
  13. For the "advanced math" take the College Algebra course required for the degree if possible in your student's senior year spread it over the whole year. If your CC does not allow that then do it at home with the same textbook and have him take the math placement test. [Our local CC is quite flexible how they take College Algebra and they offer different variants such as one semester or parts 1 to 4 over two or more semesters (self-paced).]
  14. Is "NMS Commended" worth anything towards other merit scholarships? My DS is on the bubble. If he only gets commended I assume that is still worth putting on College Apps.
  15. "What you'll learn Understand, visualize and manipulate different elementary functions, like powers, roots, polynomials, trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions Understand, visualize and solve equations and inequalities involving these elementary functions Understand the concept of differentiation and to calculate the derivatives of compositions of elementary functions Understand the concept of integration and to use some elementary integration techniques " It does cover Trig, probably assumes that you had significant prior exposure. It is a short course so probably won't be in depth as a full semester. Give it a spin.
  16. Yes but this student could always take College Algebra in college like thousands of other students have done in the past.
  17. I assume this is Holt refresher Where is the error? Maybe a typo.
  18. Amazon has some "Simple Solutions Common Core Mathematics" if you find the ISBN you can probably order it from somewhere update: found it but at rip-off price - list is $13.75 here are some samples: http://www.crestwoodschools.org/olc/class.aspx?id=31909&s=776 http://www.laurel.k12.ky.us/userfiles/914/Classes/44002/Simple%20Solutions%20Lesson%205-8.pdf https://www.pinterest.com/pin/200973202093575332/ ================ Item # Description ISBN # Price CCM 0KS Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Kindergarten Student Edition 978-1-60873-152-7 $13.75 CCM 1S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 1 Student Edition 978-1-60873-153-4 $13.75 CCM 2S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 2 Student Edition 978-1-60873-316-3 $13.75 CCM 3S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 3 Student Edition 978-1-60873-317-0 $13.75 CCM 4S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 4 Student Edition 978-1-60873-318-7 $13.75 CCM 5S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 5 Student Edition 978-1-60873-160-2 $13.75 CCM 6S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 6 Student Edition 978-1-60873-161-9 $13.75 CCM 7S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 7 Student Edition 978-1-60873-162-6 $13.75 CCM 8S Simple Solutions, Common Core Mathematics Grade 8 Student Edition 978-1-60873-163-3 $13.75 Note: Student texts are sold in class sets only. — Every student must have his/her own book! **Electronic Teacher’s Editions and Curriculum Resource Materials are available online and are complimentary with the purchase of a class set of student books.
  19. Stats may be the better choice in this case. I assume your student is not going to be a STEM major in college.
  20. google holt algebra 1 refresher pdf free download
  21. Please post info here about new resources as well: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/638806-master-list-of-on-line-classes/
  22. If you go with the co-op plan on supplementing - for us supplementing was mostly in the summer, but summer in southern AZ is our worst weather. for online you can look here http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/542418-homeschooling-high-school-math/?do=findComment&comment=6191109 and here http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/638806-master-list-of-on-line-classes/
  23. "Phil Four (Middle school and High School math plus Computer Science)" Phil Four has Physics classes
  24. Is it Chapter 12 Probability, Data Analysis ... that he had so much trouble with or a cumulative test after? I don't think difficulty with Probability means the course was a disaster so far. Probability can be a topic on it's own. You could do a little mini-course about Probability and possibly get a tutor after Algebra 2. How did he do in the other chapters? He does need to learn mastery and maybe some spiraling is needed with this student. I would add a two week review at the course end and then have him take an old NYS Algebra 2 Regents exam (free download with answers). You could print it and cross out the problems that don't apply. These are great open resource.
