Lori D. Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I plan to have my rising 10th grader do a Consumer Math program this coming school year. Any reviews on BJU's or Abeka's Consumer Math of likes/dislikes and why? Or recommend something else as better? Thanks so much in advance! Warmest regards, Lori D.

Cindy in WA Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 We chose ABeka in part because of Cathy Duffy's review: "This Consumer Math course is so practical that every student should take it whether or not they are college bound." I like what it covers. My daughter looked through it and is excited use it. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langfam Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I used Cathy Duffy's reviews too. My 2 12th graders will be doing other math programs together with consumer math. I really want them to have some exposure to real life math. I picked Abeka purely because the textbook is shorter. The BJU text has over 600 pages and looks to be very comprehensive, but I do not want to overwhelm my dc since they'll be also doing other math. I know that BJU is a mastery approach program. I'm not sure if Abeka is a review "spiral" approach. I'm hoping it is not. I'll know when we get the books. I'm hoping I made the right choice as I've bought the books used. http://cathyduffyreviews.com/math/consumer-math-bjup.htm http://cathyduffyreviews.com/math/consumer-mathematics-Abeka.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
