EthiopianFood Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Is there such a thing? It seems like most curricula assume kids outgrow the fun, colorful pages. What about the older child who still needs that to maintain interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Singapore Standards Edition is fun and colorful through 6th grade. Their new DM is colorful, but not fun-looking anymore (though the old DM had cartoon characters - they're phasing that one out). Horizons is colorful through Prealgebra. Many standard textbooks for prealgebra on up are quite colorful also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I think BJU is colorful at the upper levels. Their pages are not just black and white. Highlighting and even some drawings are throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlylocks Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 A Beka, BJU and Horizons all have colorful books... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Math in Focus? It's the less talked about Singapore math. It looks very textbooky (it's used in some public schools) but that means it's colorful and bright with glossy pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yes, Math in Focus would fit as being colorful. Right now it goes through eighth grade and I don't know if they are planning on going into high school. Here is review I wrote on my blog where you can see what the books and workbooks look like.

matilda Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Lial's Pre-algebra and Algebra 1 have color, as does Prentice Hall Pre-Algebra. There are not nearly the number of pictures as in something like the Primary Singapore books, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Teaching Textbooks (the cd's at least, the book is b&w). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
