Jonibee Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 My 11th grade dd passed a college algebra course with a B. This was for her first semester of 11th grade. The university only offers precalculus to high schoolers in the fall session, so she has not done any math since December. She will be taking Precalculus at the University in the fall. She is afraid she has forgotten much and hopes the class will not be too difficult. Any suggestions for regular review before September? Prior to college algebra, she used Saxon Advanced Math about 2/3 way through the book. I am not familiar with other textbooks. I wondered if Teaching Textbooks Precalculus might be worthwhile? Please, any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetC Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Homeschool Buyer's co-op offers yourteacher.com free over the summer. It's rather boring, but the price is right and you can skip over topics you remember well. http://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/homeschool-freebies-curriculum/?c=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbollin Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 another computer online option with a free 2 month trial is Aleks. I got this link from some magazine's email blast last week. http://www.aleks.com/webform/c2605 you can browse the courses (I've linked to the ones they list in higher ed section since you're looking at dual enrollment classes) http://www.aleks.com/highered/math/course_products if you still have your Saxon advanced book, you could have to her redo stuff from there? My dd started with aleks trig course after finishing saxon advanced. I flipped a coin between trig and pre calc. and it was plenty of new topics.

Teachin'Mine Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Precalculus courses pack a lot into a semester, so anything she can do to maintain/improve on her college algebra and learn ahead on the trig and precalculus would be helpful. Since you already have the Advanced Math, I'd suggest she just continue where she left off with that, or maybe back up a bit and go from there. She should be able to get any help she needs at the college even if she's not currently taking a math class there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Hmm doesn't she still have the college algebra textbook? I would redo work from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'd work on trigonometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticmomma Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Trig! Memorize all of those identities. Look into straighterline.com or even khan academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
