LizzyBee Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I think so. That's what one of my kids is using now. The teaching in LOF is sufficient, but she needs more practice, which is why we added Key To. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine State Sue Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I would agree. We used LoF Algebra this year. It didn't fit ds's learning style and he needed more practice. If it did fit his learning style, I think the Key To series would provide the needed extra practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heatherf Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Has anyone compared LOF with Professor B algebra? I wish I knew why there is so little review on Professor B. Has anyone used it at all? I'd sure love to hear a review or two, or three, or ....:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bclerkin Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 What is LoF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 LoF is a common abbreviation for Life of Fred which is a math curriculum. See details here. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valinbc Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I've unfortunately never seen LOF, but I have used Professor B. I highly recommend the first three Prof. B. books (Books 1, 2,and 3), which are the lower-level books for first-time learning or remedial fractions/decimals/ and percents. In my opinion, if you have a child who is seriously math challenged (and I mean 'seriously': My daughter had a learning disability with math, if a three-inch stack of practice sheets still leaving her unable to do basic adding and subtracting by grade 5, and the Key-to Books being a complete disaster is any indication...) then there is no better program out there. It is also a great foundation for the non-math challenged child - it certainly was for my second dc who is now getting 90's in upper-level maths. But...I don't recommend the algebra books. They just don't work nearly as well or nearly as brilliantly as the primary program. I did like the introduction to algebra part, however. Actually, LOF looks interesting...is anyone out there still using Math-U-See anymore? I remember thinking that it looked pretty nice (years ago).
