What to use for 8th grade Algebra 1

[Teresa in MO]

my 7th grade dd is doing Chalkdust Pre-Algebra this year. She has done pretty good. Not spectacular, but average. I am trying to figure out Algebra for next year. I have narrowed down to these options:

 

Lial's Introductory Algebra - I have all the Lial books w/DVT all the way through Pre-Calc.

 

Foersters Algebra - I would probably buy the dvd's from Math Without Borders. Can anyone who has used these tell me if they were helpful?

 

Chalkdust Algebra 1 - would buy these the cheap way, not through CD. We used the dvds with Pre-Algebra and they worked well.

 

I am considering trying to find the Foerster's and Chalkdust book and comparing them to Lials.

 

Any thoughts would be helpful.

We are currently using Chalkdust Algebra 1 with my younger dd. If pre-algrebra is already working, then I would go ahead and give algebra 1 a try. We are already in chapter 7, and have not run into any problems.
