LNC Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I bought the dvds by Dana Mosely/Cengage and the Elementary and Intermediate Algebra Larson text. Things were going well. We are wrapping up chapter 5 today with the review. She has a 94 ave so far. I realized that 5.4 dvd lesson doesn't cover all that is in the review. Dividing polynomials. The combined dvd 5.4 lesson only covered factoring. I had been told on the boards that the combined course consisted of ch.1-10 (out of 13 ch.) was Algebra 1. Ch. 4-13 is Algebra 2. NOW WHAT???? Should I just buy from Chalkdust for 2nd semester and trust she hasn't missed out on foundational material. Math is not our strong suit and now I'm panicked that I have ruined her foundation for higher math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 I found this post saved in my math bookmarks. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/262888-cheap-chalkdust-algebra-usersheads-up/ I think this might be a one time thing. If anyone wants to give me advise about continuing with the cheap chalkdust or not, please do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAIMOM Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I guess by cheap ckalkdust you are meaning the DVD's sold by the textbook company? I had those for Pre Calculus and had questions. I called Chalkdust and Mr Mosley was very helpful. He even sent me a lesson plan he had made. It did not matter to him that is was not from chalkdust. I think you can buy the CD you need that covers the material from chalkdust. He will know what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNC Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yes, when we were sharing isbns on the boards a couple years ago we called it cheap chalkdust. I found the lesson for synthetic division in the intermediate algebra dvd lesson. This dvd set has elementary algebra, combined and intermediate algebra lessons. The paper pamphlet matches up to the appropriate textbook chapter. 5.4 should be the only error. I'm writing notes on the pamphlet for my son and I next year! Phew.

Shellers Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Could you use Khan Academy videos? http://www.khanacademy.org/search?page_search_query=Dividing+polynomials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
