mothergooseof4 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Ds has about five lessons left in TT 7. I received Pre Algebra today and I think he could easily skip most of it. I typically let him do the quizzes/tests up to a point that he can no longer a score 90% or higher. I read a few older threads that said TT states that you can skip pre algebra. Anyone go from TT to Algebra 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassiemc Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 My son skipped the pre-algebra. He went straight from TT7 to Algebra 1. He is doing great with it. I do think that the pre-algebra has a lot of what was taught in the TT7. I had my ds take the placement test and he tested into Algebra 1 so we went with it. I think that if your son places in to Algebra 1 then he would be just fine with it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvnlattes Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We didn't skip it because I already had it on hand, but my 13yo did skip the first 10 chapters (in the older version). It was going to be torture for him to have to go through all that again after TT7. He felt like it was all review and he wanted to move on to something new. If I hadn't already had the curriculum, I would have seriously considered skipping pre-algebra altogether. There was only one topic that we had to go back and cover from those first 10 chapters. IIRC prior threads have discussed pre-algebra often being a place to camp out for kids who aren't quite ready for algebra. I agree with a PP who suggested giving him the placement test and see if he tests straight into Algebra. You could also compare the TOCs to see if the latter pre-algebra chapters correspond to the early algebra chapters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetandSimple Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I've heard that there is a lot of repetition between the two levels. We're planning to go from TT6 to Pre-Algebra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammi K Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 There is very little new material in TT Pre-algebra and what new material there is is reviewed in TT Algebra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
