TheApprentice Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 So, after much thought, we've decided to do TabletClass Pre-Algebra. My son is liking it so far. But what he is not liking are the instructional videos. He feels they take too long, especially if he gets the answers correct. It feels like a bit overkill. So if you are using TabletClass, do you have your ds/dd watch the instructional videos all the time, or just on the questions he/she may miss. Or do you just review the answer key and then go over the questions missed yourself with ds/dd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom0012 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 We are not watching the lesson lectures that go over the solutions unless my son has trouble with a section. We always watch the introductory lesson lecture, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereksurfs Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hi, No, we did not watch all the videos, especially not the ones that walk through each problem. We reserved those for when he had gotten the answer wrong or needed some extra explanation. If the material by itself was clearly understood I let him move through it as quickly as he could. This in turn allowed us plenty of time to slow down for the more challenging concepts and problems to come. IMO, its important to vary the pace with the students understanding of the material as well as his/her ability to neatly manage the more complex problem through writing out all the steps and double checking their work.
