borninthesouth Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I just started homeschooling this year. I need a math curriculum for next year. My daughter will be going into 7th grade. She is a bright student and can be good at math with a little prodding, but does not naturally gravitate that way. I have started LoF with her-- pre-algebra series. She is finishing 6th year math mammonth with LoF. I was thinking of continuing the rest of LoF pre-algebra and starting Teaching Textbooks Algebra 1. I need something that I don't have to go through everything with her. I have 3 younger kids-- 2 that need a lot of help-- learning disabilities. And one learning to read. So, no small tasks going on here. I have heard the TT is not as vigorous as some other math curriculums, but I like that they can be independent in one of my weaker subjects. If I am supplementing with LoF does that help with the vigor. Is there another math program where they can be independent in Algebra and the higher maths? I am looking for opinions, so have at it. I can handle the good, bad and the ugly. And I don't need anything for the lower grades. I like MM with LoF. But, you can give opinions there too if you want ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You might want to consider EPGY open enrollment (uses the Lial book), Derek Owens, TabletClass, Chalkdust, and VideoText. Any of those would be more rigorous than TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 We are using CLE Algebra, and it is very independent. He hardly ever needs help. We like it a lot. Saxon, with the DIVE dvds, might also be a good choice. Both tof these require you to still check their work, etc, and are not self grading.

Berta Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 My older daughter used TT all through high school. While it may seem slower, after four years of it your child will have all the bases covered. My daughter did just fine on all her exams.
