Hunter Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I just found answer keys for the Indian NCERT textbooks. http://schools.aglasem.com/?page_id=1302 There are multiple places you can download the texts. This is one of them. http://www.examrace.com/NCERT-Books/Geography/NCERT-Class-6-Geography.html#pdfsection_53eae959-page_1-locus_0 And this is another http://www.ncert.nic.in/NCERTS/textbook/textbook.htm?hesc1=0-18 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 It took us doing an entire chapter before I noticed that they were linked at the bottom of the list of chapters as if they're in the back of the book. So that was funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 At least for the math books, the answers are in a separate chapter file if you download individual chapters, which is what we've been doing. But somehow I just didn't notice that;. I was like, oh, no answers. Oh well. If you look here, which is the link to the 7th grade math book in English, you can see they're at the bottom, just before the brain teasers. http://ncertbooks.prashanthellina.com/class_7.Mathematics.Mathmatics/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 I think the math answer keys start with grade 6? The files of the lower grades seem very large and like they will choke older and cheaper tech. The grades 6-8 are the most interesting to me. The files are of a manageable size, there are answer keys, and the grade 6 book is a entry level text. The three 6-8 books are comparable to GED prep and other general high school type programs. The Indian commas, vocabulary, and money can be a bit confusing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 It looks like the NoteMonk versions are the best quality books most of the time. http://www.notemonk.com/ncert/ At NoteMonk, there are partial publisher written answers for the science 9 and 10.

Farrar Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Regarding the commas: http://www.npr.org/blogs/krulwich/2010/10/19/130674804/counting-millionaire-india I think the middle school ones seem by far the best of the ones I've looked over. That's what we're using. Overall the middle grades texts seem better than the others. They're more general, more accessible, aimed just right for the age and seem to potentially work better for an American audience as well. FWIW, ds did not find the comma thing confusing. Or the rupees, or the few different terms we've hit as they've all been pretty self-explanatory. We have been confused by what exactly the problem meant a couple of times, even though the math was obvious we were like, what are we figuring out with one problem. Midway through, I suddenly said, oh, ds, it's CRICKET! The runs and the overs! It's a cricket problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 The 6-8 math books are a nice and tidy little package. I'm really glad to know about them. I think I'm going to stick with what I was planning, for the sake of the whole picture, planned before and after, but they are good. Really good.

Farrar Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 You could possibly include them as alternates or more practice for some topics since they're broken so nicely into separate chapters. They are maybe a departure from the more vintage style you're using though, so that makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 That's what I'm thinking. For a student coming out of PS, who is a bit behind in math, and only has a few years left, that needs a multi-year course with an entry level book, this is spot on. The pdf doesn't lag. I'm really surprised this isn't used more. I think people just don't know about it. I think I'm going to use the 6-8 science. And some bits and pieces of the social studies, to provide some contrast to the vintage social studies. There is lots about human rights and equality and colonialism, that needs to be said. And I'm always attracted to books that include an agricultural emphasis as it's grounding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I'm surprised that more people aren't on to the math as well. That was part of why I started a thread about it awhile back, about how much we were liking it. MEP gets a lot of attention, and Ray's and some of the vintage math that you can find for free, but this is a solid free math as well that's really good, and, as you say, loads really fast.

Zoo Keeper Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 :bigear: Just wanted to say that I'm enjoying this conversation... I've downloaded and forgotten about the NCERT math books. Thanks for the reminder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Last night I was working on the rough drafts for science and history. With the help of the Indian texts, I have been able to schedule a third subject called "social sciences", that will supplement the lacks in the vintage natural science and histories and count as a whole other subject/credit. When students and mom work harder, I really like them to get credit for that. I'm really excited about the work I got done yesterday and am really thankful for these texts. Any student who has had access to a combination of vintage texts and Indian texts will be prepared to write some REALLY interesting research papers, and be able to engage is some interesting class discussions, and at the junior colleges, that is considered far more important than knowing where to place a comma and if you have mastered any higher maths. Last week, when my plans to use the Synge books fell though, I was tired but so calm, because I just had faith there was something better waiting for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susankhan Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hunter, you amaze me more and more each day! I love the fact that these texts have "try me exercises" they seem like they could work well with MANY different learning styles. Feeling so blessed to have you contributing to this homeschool community.... Huge thank you Susan Khan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling so blessed to have you contributing to this homeschool community.... Huge thank you Susan Khan You are sweet! Thank you! I think it might have been Stripe that first linked me to the Indian texts a couple years ago. The problem for me with free stuff, is that I just rolled round in it, instead of doing what I'm doing now. I never tried to fit pieces of the free stuff into spread sheets. It suddenly gets crystal clear what fits TOGETHER vs what is lovely, but not for THIS spreadsheet. For me, it's a high when a spread sheet comes together into a nice whole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
