awingfield Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 So here we are entering 9th grade Algebra 1 and doing SOS Switched on Schoolhouse. I find it doesn't do a good job explaining things. What is out there free to get full lessons and tutorials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jann in TX Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'd also suggest getting a cheap copy of a 'reference' text-- a text you can get visual instruction and practice problems to supplement SOS. Something like Lial's Introductory Algebra would do and it is very inexpensive (and is a great text too-- the lessons contain the full teaching instruction with detailed examples)... Older editions (7th or 8th ) are just fine! ISBN 0321279212 Kahn Academy is also an awesome resource. You can get awesome free practice worksheets at kutasoftware.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Brightstorm is another great site. http://www.brightstorm.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupOCoffee Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Khan, hands down. My son is having math SUCCESS for the first time in a long time, using Khan!!! My 10 year old loves it too, but she is better at math than he had been at her age. I love that it prompts them to go back and review x,y,z concepts if they seem to be struggling through a set of problems. I am happy with it. ~coffee~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
