Mommy22alyns Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm thinking maybe I should go back through some things before Rebecca hits higher math. I don't think I could do AOPS. What pre-algebra would you recommend? Or could I just do algebra? I went through pre-calculus in high school, but that was a while ago.

Deniseibase Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I started doing that exact same thing several years ago. I chose Saxon because I was afraid of math, and plus they had a placement test. I appreciated the hand-holding Saxon provided and am much more confident in my math skills now. I think Saxon is a good choice if you are intimidated by math, but if you did through pre-calc in high school, it sounds like you just need a refresher? You might try just picking up some study guides at your local library (Algebra the Easy Way, Geometry for Dummies, things like that) and see how much you remember. Some libraries have some pretty cool stuff that you can check out - ours has both AOPS and Life of Fred, which makes for very helpful reading when I get stuck! :-) But if your library has nothing, any decent text that you enjoy going through is a good choice. It's pretty easy to find used copies of Lial's, Foerster, and some Dolciani books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caroljenn Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 ALEKS! You take a diagnostic test and then learn what you need to know. I have my daughter in a two month free trial, and we are loving it. I'm thinking about signing myself up too, for a refresher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 I never thought of checking out the library for study guides! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
