home4school Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I heard they can be quite long. Anyone? Thanks, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateLeft Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm looking at the Geometry timeline for the newer CD Geometry course (with the 2007 text). They sent me the old timeline when I ordered the course, so I emailed them and the new info arrived in the mail today. There are two lectures that are 35 minutes long. The rest seem to average about 20 minutes. The shortest one is 7 minutes. Most of them are in the teens and low 20s. I don't think the lectures are meant to be watched every day, either. There are 52 lectures, and like I said, they appear to average about 20 minutes. I'd heard they were long also, but I don't think the Geometry lectures appear to be bad at all. The old Geometry timeline (for the older version of CD Geometry) has a lot more lectures, but they're also fairly short, with many under 10 minutes.

Leanna Tomlinson Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) My ds just finished Pre-Calc. A few lectures are over 1 hour. Most are about 20- 40 minutes. The time really varies. ETA - there are about 75 lectures. Edited August 10, 2010 by Leanna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tami in PA Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm looking at the Algebra I outline - 19 of the lessons are in the 20 minute range, 14 of the lessons are under 20 minutes, 10 of the lessons are in the 30 minute range and then there are a couple of 40+ minute lessons. We've found that it's pretty easy to match up where the examples in the book match up with the video lecture and then just stop the dvd and do the work up until that point. The next day we just FF the dvd to where we left off and finish up the lesson and the work :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
home4school Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Those times really don't seem too bad. I was searching the boards about CD and came across a thread asking why you didn't like it. Most all of the replies (and there were a lot) said the longwinded lectures. I'm looking specifically at Prealgebra, btw. Thanks, Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnandtinagilbert Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 We are using Alg I and II and they have only been more than 30 min once so far. We're very happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
home4school Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Would you say your kiddos are "mathy"? How much time per day do you spend on math? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
