Denise Allen Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I know everyone is probably sick of math questions~ sorry! I have read every thread I could find over the past few weeks on Dolciani, Foerster, Lials, and Jacobs. I now have a copy (at least one) of each author. Honestly, every single one looks great! I have sat every evening reading through Algebra I books for the past two weeks! The only "Pre-Algebra" book I ordered was Lials BCM. I wish I would have ordered Dolciani Pre-Algebra. My question: My oldest (8th grader) will be doing Algebra I (not sure which!) My 7th grader will do Pre-Algebra. If my son did Lials BCM (since that is the one I have already) would he most likely be able to transition to any of the above mentioned Algebra I texts? (Dolciani, Jacobs, Foerster) I appreciate ANY advice. I want my kids to understand math, and have a rigorous program. THanks so much for being patient through another math question!

Sunshine State Sue Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Yes. :iagree: and imo you can't go wrong with any of those Algebra authors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
