kristi26 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 My DS is using the Life Science book at co-op this year in 7th grade. The co-op is also doing Earth Science in 8th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyforlatin Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Added Math textbooks (California Edition) links to original post. Thanks, are these math books used in your area or anywhere in N. California? I'm just wondering what books are used in the top schools. I know one that uses AOPS but that's for a different track of students apparently.

Arcadia Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks, are these math books used in your area or anywhere in N. California? I'm just wondering what books are used in the top schools. They are used by some schools in NorCal eventhough the links are to a school in SoCal. Some use Holt and some use Glencoe. I am in a "normal" school district. Below is copied from a good middle school near to me so I am not linking the source. "In 7th grade there are three courses offered: Math 7 Skills, Math 7 AB and Algebra 1. ...... The algebra course is taught from the Holt Algebra 1 book and covers the entire textbook, In 8th grade, we offer three different courses: Introduction to Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry. ... The Algebra 1 class uses Holt Algebra 1, the same curriculum as described in the 7th grade algebra class. The Geometry class uses McDougal Littell’s Geometry for Enjoyment and Challenge and is offered to 8th graders who have successfully completed the Algebra I class in 7th grade."(bolded mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Right, I keep thinking Algebra starts in High School, which it still does in a couple of schools here, but I should have looked at the middle schools first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bethben Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Anyone else having trouble with the virtual labs? Can I just buy a cheap used textbook off of amazon and use the above links for everything else? Does this include "do-able" labs that don't require expensive equipment? (I'm comparing to the $1200 CPO lab kit for physical science).

Tammi K Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I just looked at/tried some of these links. I'm wondering, are these links a 'back door' into someone else's licensed versions of the online texts? It's looking like some of the links are through b&m school's pages. Which, I would think, would mean that when their license expires the links would be invalid. Anyone know? Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadrunner Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 You are amazing at finding resources. By any chance, do you know if McDougal Littell CA math is available anywhere for free? Our middle school uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Any idea what grade Holt Earth Science is for? I"m REAAAALLLY liking it!! Kolbe has plans that use this book. (I bought 'em to use this year with my 7th grader.) They say it can be used for 6th through 8th and is definitely NOT a high school course. They schedule it in 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Holt Earth Science by Allison, DeGaetano and Pasachoff is different than Kolbe's 7th grade book. Kolbe is using Holt Science and Technology Earth Science, which is not the same book. The one by Allison et al. might be for high school. A Google search on "Holt Earth Science Allison" yields several high schools using it. One is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Sorry, Penguin. The link for Holt Earth Science is published by Holt, Rinehart, & Winston - same as Holt Science & Tech Earth Science. The table of contents are really similar (The "Allison" book has 8 units, Kolbe's text has 7, but the actual content listing looks really similar - as if they were just different versions.) I didn't notice the authors of Kolbe's text were Berry, Fronk, Hemenway, Kaska, Malin, Meech & Sager. Missed the small difference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Root Ann, gosh...certainly no need for an apology! I find it SO HARD to sort through these science textbooks. So many editions, so many ISBNs. Ugh. I happened to be tuned into this one because I ordered a (cheap, used) copy of the Allison book, and I have been looking at the Kolbe book. They both look like great books. I had also ordered a Teacher's Manual for the Allison book, but what showed up was another Student Text. That has happened to me twice this month. SO frustrating.
