Janeway, D12 started working through Foerster Alg 1 this past spring. She was flying through it w/o real difficulty. She then went on an extended vacation with her dad, when she finally returned to Foerster (after 5-6 week break), she could not remember what she had previously learned. D12 then reviewed all the previous chapters. But before we went on to new material. I heard about Phillip Keller's "Advanced Math For Young Students: A first course in Algebra. This book explained the how and why to her very well. She really enjoyed the Keller text. After completing this book, she is back to Foerster Alg I. She has a better understanding this time.

Thank you so much MarkT and Rose, you guys rock! EDx Geometry will be a great first pass for D12 next summer!

Rose, I am looking for something D12 can do over the summer. She is currently in 7th grade PS Algebra I. I think a gentle first pass over the summer would be ideal. I am glad I saw your post EdX course. Can you explain how it works? It there a workbook? Do they watch videos? I own The great Courses Geometry course. I have not looked at it, but the work book does not have much instruction. Hoping the videos have the instruction. Also was thinking of Keys to Geometry, not sure which way to go. Thank you

Texas TEKS Algebra I McGraw Hill 2016 But she can't bring a text book home. they only have a classroom set. Also they have not used the text so far. Their homework/classroom work is all copies of sheets from different sources.

Bouncing around ideas...... Background D12 is in 7th grade public school Algebra I We supplement her PS Algebra I class at home. . She is just now starting back to Foerster Alg I after taking a long break and working through another text (Advanced Math for Young Students: A first course in Algebra). I am thinking she will finish the Foerster Alg I text by the time 7th grade is over at the latest. I am thinking of starting Foerster Alg II right after that and taking it very slow. So she could do that over the 8th grade while in geometry and 9th grade while in Alg II. While in 8th grade she would also supplement geometry with something like Keys to Geometry and maybe Great Courses An Interactive Journey to Mastery. Any ideas?? Thank you

My D12 just finished Phillip Keller's "Advanced Math for Young Students: A First Course in Algebra" D12 found this extremely helpful in understanding the concepts of Alg 1.

My 7th grader in Pre AP Algebra I in public school just finished Keller's Advanced Math for Young students and found it to be very helpful!!!! I highly recommend it!

I had my 5y/o Mirena removed and bleed for 3 weeks. Absolutely nothing since them, I am almost 49...........No sure if my periods are officially over yet.

I have had 2 cooper Ts and 1 Mirena. Loved them all. I vote for pain pill and replace. Peace of Mind is worth the momentary discomfort/pain.

My BFF's 13 y/o daughter is extremely disabled by generalized anxiety with panic attacks . She has been in cognitive therapy for appox 2 years with some improvement. She was placed on Zoloft approx. 3 months ago and has improved a quite a bit. Just a thought. The PhD she sees works with her pediatrician. She is continuing in therapy. Hugs to you and your child.

Thank you ladies!

D12 qualified on her math STAAR score. She did not qualify with English STAAR score. Does anyone no if she will only take the math portion of the SAT or the entire SAT?

I stumbled across a book written as a supplement for Algebra I. This book is for children that are struggling with the concepts of Algebra I or maybe they are just young. Anyway, D12 started it this school year to use with her public school Algebra I class. it is doing a fantastic job of helping her understand the concepts. The book is "Advanced Math for Young Students: A First Course in Algebra" by Philip Keller. Please keep us updated and Best of Luck to your daughter!

If your father has Medicare it will pay for 100% of Hospice and no cost to the family. I am praying for you and your family. I do believe Hospice is the way to go and Haldol can help with your father's mental status changes. Also if the lung CA has spread to his brain. Palliative radiation can help greatly also. My heart is breaking right now for you!!!! Hugs!!!!

How would that class work in the Delayed Course. I say that because (I know it is still early) but there is still a lot of "housekeeping" things taking up the beginning of class. Such as not submitting properly, also she gives the classes warning to too much chatter. Having said that, D12 said that if she has a question that is not asked by another child (has not happened yet), as all questions have been answered by kids in the live class, she can email Ms. Meyers. Ms. Meyers is very quick to respond to her emails. So far the Delayed class as worked out very well for D12. So what I am rambling about, would a Delayed work for your daughter's class because it seems there could not be a workshop class for delayed.

D12 (public school 7th grader) is in Exp W 1 with Kayla Meyers, Delayed with the Mon-Wed live class. D12 loves Ms. Meyers. She submits her assignments on the Sunday before the Monday class. She watches the delayed class when she gets home from school on Monday and Wednesday. She is using the WWSI book. So far the course is going very well. D12 hates to write , but so far, she is really enjoying the class.

(((( HUGS)))))

Thank You so much! ^^^^^^^^^^^^

This thread is really causing me some introspection as I see myself in your husband. I grew up "walking on eggs shells" from dad. I sought out meds because: 1. I am perimenopausal and the symptoms are worsening 2. I see how my D12 reacts to me (much like the way I reacted to my dad when I was a kid) 3. Really scared the wheels could come off as anxiety continues to worsen.

What your you describe of your husband and what Jenna describes of herself is me to a tee. I feel I constantly walk on a tightrope and at any second I can fall off and every thing in my life fall apart. I have felt like this for a long time. I "pick" on my boyfriend, because he not detailed and anal like myself. I hate this about me. I feel so out of control inside that micromanaging things helps me feel in control (temporarily), it really just worsens my anxiety. I have recently started Buspar and I am seeing some benefit. Hugs to you.

Hugs, sending good thoughts your way!

I am spending my day off watching TC's How to Become a Superstar Student, the first edition. Boy this has some great stuff! Very worth the 25.00 and time. I will be watching it again with D12 sometime in the future.

Does WWSI teach that? D12 is watching her 2nd delayed lesson right now.

I just order the TC lecture " How to Become a Super Star Student" (1st edition) from Amazon. I will what it before my 7th grader does. Thank You. Please update up on the Adam Robinson techniques and if you think they will work long term.

Will do!
