My ninth grader is just finishing up Saxon Algebra 1/2, but it's been a bit of a struggle and I think she might do better with more mastery based exercises and more explanation. Here's the problem. She wants all the instruction in the student textbook. No online classes, etc. She doesn't learn well from videos and doesn't like them, and wants to avoid anything where a lot of the material is in a teacher book that makes it hard for her to work independently.
So what would be some good options? I've been looking at Lial's or Abeka or Foerster. Any opinions on these?
