  1. I think I have picked the book. We're going to try Basic Algebra by Brown and Dolciani. It looks like a good choice to solidify her skills and move step by step through early algebra. It doesn't cover as much as Dolciani's structure and method books and has more review. Then we'll see if she wants to continue with Dolciani or go back to Saxon's algebra sequence. Thanks all!
  2. Would Dolciani be a good choice? I can't seem to find a way to look inside those books
  3. 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?
  4. Has anyone tried this? It looks like an interesting option for my 7th and 8th graders.
  5. I’ll have to check and see if my library has any of these
  6. I really wish one could buy ‘student’ editions of books that have historical/cultural/literary notes and unusual vocabulary in sidebars or footnotes.
  7. We really like Philip Campbell’s Story of Civilization series. Catholic content though.
  8. The Splendid and the Vile (about Churchill and the Blitz) was the first Eric Larson book I’ve read, and it was fantastic
  9. We used several volumes last year and read and took notes, but I think this year we might finish the set just as extra reading
  10. I just got the audiobooks for her Merlin series on sale a few weeks ago
  11. The Blue Castle is sounding like it would be enjoyable to read with my teen, I think.
  12. Oh this looks interesting. Added the first one to the library list
  13. I read The Goblin Emporer last year and adored it! The Angel of the Crows by the same author was also excellent.
  14. Hmm, sounds good. Anyone have some favorite cozy mystery series of this type?
  15. 😂😂😳 My daughters are getting into young adult books. The parental approval process can be highly contentious
  16. I loved Lady Sherlock. Great fun. I’ll have to check out the Glamourist Histories. I love that era.
