Homemama2 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 We are using this bc it has the amount of review my son needs to finally understand math and not forget everything 3 months later. I'm just wondering how it compares to other math programs. I know it is not as advanced as many (we came from MM, and it was a huge step back....but that was what he needed.) That is ok. But will it get him prepared to do Algebra in 9th grade if we use it 6-8th? Does it cover pre-algebra topics sufficiently? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Many homeschoolers have reported going straight to algebra from book 8 and doing just fine. It may not cover as many topics as some, but a DC's basic arithmetic will be solid enough to pick those up easily enough. If you're concerned you could add Keys to Algebra in the summer between 8 and alg 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear Creek Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 My oldest used R&S 6&7 before going into pre-algebra, and she had no problems - she was very well prepared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homemama2 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Thank you both. Clear Creek, what did you use for pre-algebra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clear Creek Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Thank you both. Clear Creek, what did you use for pre-algebra? She is using the Art of Problem Solving pre-algebra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
