dereksurfs Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I am curious who owns this book and how you may have integrated it with your primary math curriculum? I am thinking it might be a great suppliment to a Pre-Algebra program in helping ds11 see abstract math in action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spetzi Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I am planning to use it with Life of Fred Beginning Algebra. Some of RW Algebra is well above pre-algebra, but you can pick and choose what suits your child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmamaz Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I'm really curious about it, also. When I saw Zaccaro at a conference, it looked like the algebra book was actually easier than the regular challenge math book, which is supposed to be grades 4-8. So i'm wondering if its really more of a preview of algebra, like the grade school algebra that shows up in some curriculum. I am going pretty free form mixing tons of materials, but i might have to buy both just to figure out which one i want! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I typically like to suppliment from the next level of math while working on the current level. And because this looks so interesting I think it would provide a fun, fresh perspective of Algebra. Djkapp on the HS forum mentioned it requiring a student to have completed quite a bit of pre-algebra first. And that's ok as I plan to introduce it gradually over time, sprinkling it in.
