I will add that you should find out if your school has adopted an Intergrated Math progression or stayed with traditional math sequence as that would impact what you would want to do. If they do IM, then I would think you would want to cover any topics that they cover in IM1 so that she is able to transition right into IM2.

I'm sorry I have no clue how you would weave in a traditional math progression with a student on an Integrated Math path without there being any holes. I am guessing that this would be an example of what IM3 (his functions class) would cover: Integrated Math III is the third course of a three course sequence. This course utilizes a problem­centered approach and includes content standards from Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 and Statistics at an intermediate to advanced level including coordinate geometry, circles and other conic sections, binomial distributions, permutations and combinations, exponential and logarithmic functions, rates of change, derivatives, trigonometry and quadratics. The course requires that students further develop the logic needed for abstract problem solving and emphasizes the common core standards through examining polynomial functions, exponents and logs, trigonometric functions (equations and applications) triangle trigonometry (law of sine and cosine) trigonometric addition formulas, and solving trigonometric equations. The second semester examines analytic geometry, polar coordinates, geometric representation of complex numbers, powers of complex numbers, roots of complex numbers, vectors and determinants, sequences, series, limits and iterated functions, and introduction to calculus, including finding derivatives of curves, using derivatives in curve sketching, extreme value problems, and velocity and acceleration.

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.

Actually this will work better in google: site:http://forums.welltrainedmind.com with whatever search terms you want. I couldn't find that earlier when I posted.

Also...the search function on these boards is terrible. It is easier to google what you want like: Mr. D Math reviews well trained mind forums This will pull up past threads about that.

Another self-paced alternative that is pretty popular on these boards: Derek Owens. https://www.derekowens.com/index.php

I haven't used it yet. Others on the boards have used it. I am just pointing out an alternative option to the class that you mentioned since you were interested in Foerster. These are purely a self-paced courses. He provides a video of worked out solutions for all the even problems. You can purchase a solutions manual for the textbook, but the answers for the odd problems are in the back of the textbook. He just doesn't work out those solutions. There are full descriptions of the courses and what is covered in each Foerster book on the website. This would be an excellent choice of text for a STEM minded student. This review of the program might be helpful to you. https://cathyduffyreviews.com/homeschool-reviews-core-curricula/math/grades-9-12/math-without-borders-home-study-companions There are some reviews that are easy to find on amazon and facebook as well.

By the way, there is another option for self-paced with Forester's, There are sample videos online. https://mathwithoutborders.com/

Is she working through just the textbook on her own? There are CD-ROM from Saxon, DIVE CDs and Al Reed's DVDs. Are you using this? If she needs things explictly taught, I would think you need to have something in place to do that. It seems like it is not the curriculum but how the curriculum is being used may be the problem?

I remember seeing people comment that some teachers from Landry Academy (after that blew up) landed at BIP. Sorry, there aren't any comments about their classes. Both of the other two you mentioned are also places where former Landry teachers ended up. All of them are relatively new platforms. You might have better luck searching the specific teacher on old threads about Landry. In my experience, you probably don't want to spend all your dollars on one provider you've never used unless you really like your experience with that provider (especially if you are talking about high school classes). Otherwise, you could potentially be out a lot of money all sunk in one place. I will also add it is hard to tell from online providers that are newer just how much of it is just a platform with somewhat random teachers so the quality really varies by teacher versus a platform with a specific vision/teaching philosophy that permeates all the instruction with specific standards/quality that all the teachers are held accountable to meeting.

You might want to look at WTMA's Saxon classes. I saw a number of people on the boards happy with their classes. http://www.wtmacademy.com/courses/?filter_subject=78%2Cmath&query_type_subject=or It looks like the other Algebra II course uses Foerester which is considered a more rigorous text.

Schole Academy (CAP) has AP Latin taught by Mr. Kotynski TuThF at 11 AM. He's the head of the Latin department over there. He edited two of the LA volumes. He took over these classes as Mr. Dubose stepped down from teaching. He sadily passed away last year. Mr. Kotynksi's email is listed in the course description. He's pretty responsive. https://www.scholeacademy.com/course/ap-latin-preparation/ The school did an Open House and has recordings of breakout sessions here: https://www.scholeacademy.com/open-house/ They are hosting another one on 3/12. My son is moving on to Latin 1 next year, but he asked to stay with Mrs. Songer at Wilson Hill. I was ready to move him back to Schole and start with Mr. Kotynksi as they were open to taking him as well even though he is slightly younger. We had a good experience at Schole prior to Wilson Hill and only moved because of scheduling issues.

You could use Outlining from Remedia Publication for a quick run through on outlining. It's quick to use. https://www.rainbowresource.com/product/sku/022872

A lot of people metioned using Edhesive's courses.

There's a program run out of SD that works on this sort of work on midbrain and cross hemisphere work. It's called Brain Gym. I know lots of families locally with kids with all sorts of LDs who have gone through this program and say that it helped tremendously. I warn you ahead of time, it isn't cheap. I believe that they offer classes online for families out of the area. http://www.braingym.org/ By any chance, did this child also skip cross crawling and go straight to walking?

I totally forgot that WTMA has Latin. They are charter friendly as well. They use Oxford Latin.

Since the curriculum selector suggested SM products, perhaps you should look at Singapore Dimensions 6 to 8. That would take you straight through algebra without switching curricula without being overly repetitive by doubling up in PA. This would still accomplish finishing Algebra in 8th. This is my theoretical suggestion since SM seems to be working well for you. Mine was like Monica though I forced him to stop and do JA before AOPS PA after SM5. This is the 6A sample. http://www.singaporemath.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/sp_dmt6a.pdf This is the 8A sample. http://www.singaporemath.com/v/sf_dmt8a.pdf

Did you see the their open house videos from November that were archived? https://www.scholeacademy.com/open-house/

FWIW, he did LFC B with Mrs. Songer at WHA this year. That class was considerably smaller so I think he got to participate more. It's also longer 1 1/2 hours twice a week. He wants to stay with Mrs. Songer (I think because she is a goofier teacher.) next year rather than switch back to a completely different teacher. Plus 3x a week is not very workable for our schedule. It is useful though because repetition helps with foreign language and getting in enough exposure and practice is important. I probably should add that another consideration why we are going to go back to WHA for Latin is that she is allowing my son to go right into Latin 1 (Latin Alive) even though he is below the age/grade range due to how he has performed in her class this year. I think it will be important in making that big jump to stay with a familar teacher who knows his abilities.

This was my review from last year from the master online class thread. We are nearing the end of my son's Latin for Children A class at Schole Academy. He has been engaged and interested throughout the year. Mrs. Chilbert did take a maternity break so Mrs. Gerard (sp?) subbed in. Both teachers are enthusiastic and encouraging. He is a bit sad to not continue on with them because the schedule does not work for us in the fall, but he enjoys enough Latin so we will be using Wilson Hill in the fall solely because of scheduling reasons. I though Mrs. Gerard did do a better job of creating practice resources for the students to use on quizlet. It wasn't an issue for us as I already had quizlet set up for practice as well as a subscription to Headventureland. Both teachers are continuing to teach for Schole Academy for 2018-2019 and are teaching at least one Latin course. My son liked both of the teachers.Please be aware that Schole Academy is distinctly Christian so the classes do follow a liturgical model and have prayer, devotional time and closing prayer. This is fine with me because it is consistent with our faith, but I did want people to be aware of this. The class is live video where you can see every student as well as the teacher. She controls whether or not a student can speak. There's no class chat box which does make the class a little less interactive, but it also removes that distraction from the students as well. The platform used is Schoology which seemed to be quite stable and was easy to use. Assignments were always posted and any homework that needed to be submitted was able to be scanned and uploaded pretty easily. At least for the Latin class, there are no recordings posted for the classes. If a student is absent, you can notify the teacher and a recording will be provided. Schole's guidelines do state that students may not miss more that 6 live class meetings. Class grades are given using magna cum laude, sum laude, satis, and non satis. Assignments that are graded on the Schoology are done via point value so the platform will generate a percentage grade based on those graded assignments.When Mrs. Chilbert had to cancel a class due to illness, she did set up a make up class time and offered several options for parents to vote on. She selected the one that accomodated the most students. A recording was provided for students who could not attend. The maternity leave transition off and transition back was handled very smoothly and with very little disruption to the class. All in all, we would recommend this class. My goal was solely to keep my son in interested and engaged. He was able to learn Latin from teachers who actually love Latin and that showed in their instruction. He was motivated to do well because of the "competition" that a class environment provided.Please also note that it appears that Schole is switching LFCA and LFCB to meet 3x a week for 45 minutes instead of the 2x a week when it was meeting for approximately an hour.

These won't be similar because Schole and Wilson Hill both use CAP's Latin programs. Perhaps Lukieon (but keep in mind these are rigorous Latin courses) Maybe Lively Latin? Though it won't take you very far along I think. I have no idea why Lone Pine Classical seems to have vanished from the internet. Not sure if they closed down.

You might want to take a look at not using the SM WB and doing the TB with the Intensive Practice books to go deeper. Also, the Challenging Word Problem books are excellent, but keep in mind there is no instruction in these books. In fact, the CWP problems are far better than the word problems in the TB and WB which are far too easy. If you need explicit instruction for word problems, then get the Fan Math Process Skills in Problem Solving. Another supplement from Fan Math Express Speed Math Strategies which focuses on mental math skills.

I would also venture to say that you would want to take the intro classes for classes that are related to your intended major as well. There's usually a certain assumed knowledge/philosophy of that discipline that you are intended to have acquired coming through the program. I think this is why the top tier schools don't often grant credit for AP. I also see it as an way to start out college with material that they already have comfort and confidence in.

(Not to derail this thread) For those considering alternative GB courses, I just reviewed the Schole Academy ones for middle school which were new this past year. The writing expectation seems significantly less when you read the syllabus. Students are only expected to produce a well written paragraph. They don't package their class as a combo, but history and literature are two separate courses but the dual enrollment gives a discount that brings it a similiar price point to WHA. The reading list seems less overwhelming for a middle school student as well.

@h2bh @ScoutTN Can you really on board with GC with 2 or 3? Would he be at a disadvantage if he is coming from doing IEW and WWS? Is that enough to prepare if I were to entertain this as a possibility? Should I even realistically look at this for a STEM focused kid? Is it just more waiting until they are more mature and ready for this sort of work? I guess I should be thankful I have some time to think on this. I have been looking at the Wes Callihan GB series as well as an alternative. Am I inflating in my head the amount of writing output that is required for these classes?
