Greetings! Shout out to, and question for, my fellow adventuresome math parents who were the pioneers to use Math Mammoth 7 after it's release last year. My dd (with dw) completed MM5-7 (highly recommend it), and now the age-old question - what to use for algebra? We are not directionless, but need to pull the trigger on something. DD is above-average but reluctant in math, enjoys it when the light bulb goes off and she gains confidence. She really is a wonderful, compliant kid, but math is the only battlefront (mild). DW is very algebra-competent but we think a video of someone else w

For various reasons, the scale has tipped to algebra 2 this year over geometry for this year. Dd has done some geometry, and will finish it the next year. She did well with Foerster Algebra 1, and we hope to do Derek Owens Precalculus after geometry. My two thoughts: Foerster Algebra 2, Kolbe honors. Dd wants to be more familiar with her TI84 she got from an older sib, and this is scheduled. She did well with Foerster Algebra 1, and I really like the solutions videos from MWB. I like the idea of the Kolbe syllabus because I want her to cover algebra 2 before she takes the SAT next year

Has anyone done either Rainbow Science OR Exploration Education THEN do Derek Owens Physical Science? Or would that be redundant? As I look at these three, it really looks like the RS and EE are very hands on, and DO is deeper in lecture and math. Pam

Derek Owens Pre-Algebra Pros/Cons
dereksurfs posted a topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
I am strongly considering DO Pre-A for our middle dd who struggles more with math than our other kids. She will be finishing up MM 6 this year and is 'slowly' but surely making her way through it, though not without struggle. She is *really* ready to move on from MM. I'm still undecided what to use for Pre-A at this point. While ds14 (our math whiz) thrived using TabletClass for Pre-A, I know it would be too hard for her as it contains more actual Algebraic content than more standard Pre-A courses like DO. Because she works a bit slower than most, I would also prefer an asynchronous co -
My daughter is using Derek Owens for Algebra 1. I have worked problem #3 on 7.9 more than 3 times, and I "think" the answer key is incorrect. Does anyone here know if there is an errata sheet available? Is anyone willing to work the problem and tell me what you get for an answer? TIA ps. I get 2 over x cubed y cubed.

I've read conflicting information about the geometry classes. Some posts give the impression that parents are required to grade the proofs. When I read the website, that doesn't seem to be the case. Would anyone care to share experiences? I'm trying to decide between Derek Owens (Jacobs 3rd edition) and Duke Tip Geometry (Jurgensen). My daughter plans to take physics through Derek Owens in the fall. The DO geometry and physics combo seems to be popular. I would be grateful to hear thoughts and experiences from those who have used both. Thanks! ETA: I've added Wilson Hill to the tit -
So we are one month into the new school year, and I am ready to chuck my current algebra plan for my 8th grade dd. After looking over several texts, I went with Lial's for Algebra I since the explanations in the text seemed so clear to me. Things started out fine when I started dd in it last spring, but she is now requiring more hand holding this year (and I already have too many hands to hold around here in other subjects!). I think she is also overwhelmed by the lengthy text and tons of problems in each section. Even just assigning the odds and breaking up the lesson over a couple of day -
I'm afraid that my son [14yo] is bored by the Derek Owens Physical Science that we are using. He likes math but he says this science is so mathy that it takes the fun out of science. Can you please give me some suggestions of a more engaging Science curriculum appropriate for 8th grade? I was thinking about checking out Dive in to Science. -
Does anyone have experience with Derek Owens AP Calculus course? We're looking at his and Susan Gilleran's Calculus AB courses. Her class has substantial reviews on the PA Homeschoolers website, but I can't find much about Derek Owens' class. We've used Derek Owens for physics and math, and my kids love him, but AP classes require that the instructor "teach to the test" to some degree. We're wondering if he is successful in this regard and whether your AP exam experience with D. Owens was positive. Thanks!

Anyone want to give me some advice? Son is about to be a senior. He's looking at engineering, and will likely be enrolled in an online engineering academy run by a local ps teacher (VERY cool resource, he's a pilot tester for homeschool students). I think he'll take 2 semesters of computer applications. Other coursework: Derek Owens Calculus, Speech & Debate with the local NCFCA team, some lit with me for senior english. Auto Maintenance as an elective, as well. I'm looking at the following options for Physics: Derek Owens Physics DIVE Physics (uses Saxon) Giancoli Physic

I am looking at both: I am a bit confused by Derek Owens website. There are no schedule for the online class. So is this where you would just download the lecture and do it on your own?? Also how does he approach labs? Does he do them online for students to watch or we buy the stuff and do it according to syllabus? He stated on that on the online classes you can finsih early if you wanted to save money....how does that work? I am looking at BJU physics just because I switched from Apologia to BJU for science. I never had physics in college or high school so I am scared to ev

Where is the best place through the mail to purchase an inexpensive equilateral prism for the refraction lab as well as the various electrical supplies for the circuit lab? Up to now all the labs used household supplies. TIA

Can someone please compare Derek Owens' physical science with Pearson's Concepts in Action? I realize Derek Owens' class is video/workbook based (no text) and Pearson is text only (no video). Both seem to cover topics in physics, chemistry, earth/space science. I'd like to know how they compare in terms of difficulty. What kind of math is needed/used? Over-all difficulty? High school science prep? Ease of use for teacher/student? What kind of labs are done? I like to do physical science in 8th grade to help prep for high school science. I like the video teaching option with Derek O -
Has anyone used Derek Owen's Physical Science class? http://www.derekowens.com/course_info_physical_science.php I'm trying to plan jr high for ds who will be in 7th next year. He has expressed an interest in earth/space science, but I don' know how to squeeze it in. I'm pushing for life science in 7th and physical science (physics/chemistry) in 8th as a prep for high school physics and chemistry. Would this course prep for high school science effectively? Derek's physical science, however, includes some earth and space science!:party:I would be interested to know how difficult thi

I've heard that Derek Owens courses are somewhat fast paced as well as the fact that he talks fast. I've reviewed his videos on youtube, but would like hear people's experience with his classes. How would you rate the difficulty level of his Algebra 1 class for example for younger students? I know he requires them to take notes and do homework. Does it seem like a moderate amount of homework, like an hour a day or so? I also wonder how he handles students who struggle more vs. those who simply get it right away? I can imagine he gets a wide range of ages and abilities, especially for Algeb

My dd is getting close to finishing Pre-Algebra. We have used Horizons since 1st grade and I was please to see that they published Pre-Algebra just in time for us to need it. Sadly, they don't have Algebra and I'm having trouble figuring out where to go from here. I want to find a program that will be a good match and would really prefer it is a program with a DVD or online teacher that (like TT) works out every problem when they get it wrong or at least works some of the problems. I looked at TT and felt it was not really as advanced, but I only looked up to lesson 40. Alot of what I saw

We're still new to the whole online class thing, so I'm not sure how to handle grading disputes. My son took an online science class and it was going fine through Christmas, then it just fell apart. Teacher stopped posting quizzes, lab instructions and homework assignments. I sent several emails and finally received a reply that there had been a couple of deaths in the family and some other issues, but she would get it all taken care of soon. Now the class is over and my son is still trying to get all of his lab assignments so he can finish the class. She recorded his final exam grad -
Derek Owens has made all of his lectures for this course available for free here: http://www.lucideducation.com/Prealgebra.php He does not use a text for this course. All homework problems are in the student workbooks, and the tests and all solutions are available on a cd. Thought I was going with Lial's for ds, but I am tempted by this.:) -
Would you please tell me what kind of lab exercises are in Derek Owens' Physical Science course? Are there any kind of lab sheets or instructions for writing up a lab included? Thanks!
-
The full course is now available for purchase here: http://www.lucideducation.com/PhysicalScience1.php Clicking on the Physical Science link to the left takes you to a page with all of the videos and the student workbooks for the first two chapters. You can try before you buy.:) If you purchase the full course, you do all the grading at home. You can also still take this course online, and Derek Owens will do all the grading and answer questions.

Thank you. -
I am thinking of enrolling my son in Derek Owens' precalculus course next year and I'm wondering what your experience has been. It doesn't have to be just for precalculus, any course will do. Thanks!

Can someone recommend an online (perhaps honors but not AP) Physics class using the Giancoli textbook? TIA, Joan
