Kirsten in MO Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'm hoping some of you math teachers can help me figure out what to do! My son will be a tenth grader next year and I am wondering what math he should do next. He did Video Text Algebra I and II in 7th and 8th grade and Chalkdust Geometry this past year for 9th. He is a strong math student and has aspirations to study engineering of some sort...possibly computer engineering. So, do we go to Trig next, or Calculus? Thanks for your help!

Jann in TX Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 His next math course should be Pre-Calculus. This course includes College Algebra and Trig (one semester of each). I suggest a strong course--Chalkdust is best if you need a video based program. Other strong programs would be Foerster's and Lial's.

Michelle in MO Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I miss you on these boards and in real life! To answer your question, do what Jann suggested: continue on with Algebra II and Trig. We hit a few snags with Chalkdust, but L. made it through with probably a B+/A- average. Math is just not her "thing". I did order the Chalkdust SAT Math Preparation DVD's. All three girls will be going to Catholic school in the fall. More in an e-mail later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
