amyk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I would love to know what math programs you have used that have a text and DVD linked together. My son has done Math U See, but he needs a more challenging program. Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3andme Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Derek Owens and Chalkdust both have pre-calc with recorded teaching and are considered fairly rigorous. Edited July 3, 2012 by 3andme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 ChalkDust. Expensive but easy to resell and comes with email support if you buy new (I think it is $75 if you buy used) Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimcarrots Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thinkwell has CD ROM's - you have to buy them extra. They don't have the worksheets so they are useless to resell. You get smartpoints if you order through the co-op. Does Derek Owens have DVD's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyk Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Thanks everyone. I saw chalkdust by searching the forum earlier today and it looks pretty good. I hadn't heard of Derek Owens. I also read about AoPS which looks like it has some videos for earlier levels. Does this program need additional instruction/ videos beyond the text? I would love to know how it works, since we have only done MUS where you watch the teacher and then do the lesson. My son doesn't NEED video instruction necessarily, it might just makes me feel better!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynyny Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We like Chalkdust Precalc, although it did take a long time to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimcarrots Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We love the AoPS videos! I think they only have pre algebra and algebra right now. They do have online classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 My son is currently taking pre-calc with Derek Owens. Ds views the video lessons on line and then completes the work. We've been VERY impressed with the program. One thing I love is that he has a choice between honors and regular. So, if you start out with honors and then need to drop it, you can. So far, ds is doing the honors and doing very well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
