Halftime Hope 4,292 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I don't want to do this at the local CC; we just need a high school speed class. TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sunshine State Sue 2,645 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 We used Derek Owens for Physics. I agree with EKS. He is great! And, he offers pre-calc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HodgesSchool 83 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Thinkwell offers Precalc. My son has loved the "pre-precalc" classes taught by the same professor and is planning to take precalc next year with Thinkwell. (Thinkwell classes are not live online classes but instead a collection of short videos and exercises.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
April in CA 11 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 Good Morning! My younger son is finishing up Thinkwell Precalc and will begin Thinkwell Calc within the next few days. Both courses are well done. My older son used Chalkdust Precalc - not an online option, but good lectures on DVD alongside a VERY thorough textbook. He then went on to Thinkwell Calculus. He was very well prepared for calculus when he got to university. Hopefully younger son will be as well! The Art of Problem Solving offers live on-line courses that you might want to check out. My younger son participated in their Intermediate Algebra class - these kids were doing some serious math! AoPS class move fast and offer the students a chance to think very deeply about math, which can be fabulous or overwhelming, depending on the student and his or her schedule. It was some of both for us, but I am very glad my son participated in the class. Best of luck finding what you need! Blessings, April Quote Link to post Share on other sites
