Georgia Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Is anyone familiar with these textbooks for Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 and Trigonometry? We live in NY state and they use these books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 The books are here, if anyone wanted to get a look at them: http://www.babylon.k12.ny.us/PDF/integrated_algebra/Integrated_Algebra_1.pdf http://www.babylon.k12.ny.us/PDF/algebra%202/Algebra%202%20and%20Trigonometry.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Did you like it? How are the explanations? How would you rate it compared to, say, Foerster's, which is what we're using right now for Alg.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I chose Foersters for my dd because the reviews praised the clarity of the explanations. So far they seem pretty good. I did think it was supposed to be a rigorous text, on the comments from other users, but the problems are pretty straightforward, after coming from Singapore for primary math. I had no idea that it did not cover all state standards (haven't cross-checked it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
