tmkclscroggins Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 We are in chapter 10 of Foerster's Algebra 1. What chapter can we comfortably stop ? Do we need to finish the book or is there a stopping point somewhere earlier? Thanks, Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 When my ds did Foerster I made him do the whole book b/c he was in 7th grade and I was trying to slow him down. ;-) However, other ds who did Jacobs skipped a couple chapters b/c we needed to get done & move on. So, I'm not opposed to the practice when necessary. In Foerster if I were on ch 10 and wanted to finish quickly I'd skip chapters 11 (more operations w/ polynomials), 12 (rational expressions) and 14 (functions and advanced topics) and just finish ch 10 (exponents) and then do ch 13 (radicals) and call it good. I put in the topics in case your book is a different version and has the chapters arranged differently. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Bay Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 We're a finish-the-book family here, but we go year round. The question is, how much is needed to do the next level of math? I just assume all unless they can test out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
