Aunty Social Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My dd is finishing up 7/6 this year, and I am trying to decide which level I need for next year. When my oldest was going through, they went straight into Alg. 1/2. Now, though, they have an 8/7 level. I'd like to go straight to the Alg. 1/2 since I have it...but don't want to skip some important concept or something. So, WWYD? btw, she is using the fourth edition of 7/6, and we have the third edition of Alg. 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I recently asked Art Reed about this, and he told me that if my son passes the last 5 tests of 7/6 with 85% or higher then we should move to Alg. 1/2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! We aren't quite there yet, but I anticipate that she'll fly through them - she doesn't like math, but she's good at it. One less thing to buy!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in FL Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Basically you would be missing out on an extra year of fact drills and cementing of percents/decimals, etc. For those using the newer homeschool editions, pre-algebra has been added to 87 so that at the completion of 87 they'd go into Algebra 1. Since you already have an edition of Algebra 1/2 - just use it, especially if you think she's proficient in the basics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
