Pen Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'm looking for feedback on this program pro or con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 How ironic! I was going to ask the same thing. There is also Calculus Without Tears - for 4th grade and up. I'd love to know if one (or both) of these are consumable. So I'm all ears, and not much help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We used it at least 6 years ago so there might be updates but I thought I would bump you. What I remember was that it was confusing for me to teach. A bit open ended with things not lining up perfectly. I did not enjoy it but my children loved it. My daughter commented just the other day that Calculus at 7 was great. She was thrilled. We also did a different series called " Calculus Without Tears" which lined up with phisics principles. I preferred that one. Workbook style with an interesting self check built in. Easier to teach but no where near as experimental. We spent a day cutting tiny pieces of paper -- must have been infinity for calculus for young people the other was workbook pages. I hope this helps.

Pen Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Yes. Thank you! And hoping for perhaps yet more feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsplaymath Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's great if you want to explore ideas and learn wherever they take you. I prefer the worksheets over the original little book (which is such a tiny, awkward size). You can get a pretty good feel for the book by exploring these activities: Don Cohen's Map to Calculus Start with Infinite Series, because a lot of the other activities build on that one.
