foofoobunny Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 We tried virtual homeschool the other day and I really disliked the presentation. We only listened to one lesson, but she went too fast and didn't explain concepts well enough for my liking. What are some other options?

Cottonwood Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 DD is really doing VERY well with Saxon Alg 1 Teacher DVDs to explain the lesson to her. She loves being able to back it up and hear the instruction more than once if need be. She also likes being able to click over and see any problem in the book worked out in front of her if she gets stuck. She's had to do that only twice this year but it really caused a nice break through in her confusion. She watches the video lesson then does that lesson and is averaging a 98 in math, including test scores, this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefgazer Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 DD just started Algebra I and we have Art Reed's DVDs. DD prefers to self-teach or work it out with me, but when she does not an additional perspective/isn't getting a concept, the DVDs allow her to pick and choose what she wants to review with the DVD, and she can go back over it as many times as she needs.

FriedClams Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 A second for Art Reed. He's fabulous. Concise. Clear. We've used him for Algebra 1/2 through 2 so far and we love him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheApprentice Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 My oldest son used Saxon Algebra 1 teacher and did really well. The everything the teacher says comes directly from the book. He used Art Reed for Algebra 2 and Advanced Math, also with great success. Art Reed speaks to the lesson using his own samples and not direct questions from the book. I think he liked Art Reed better because you see an actually person giving the samples on the board, as opposed of a voice-over and a blue screen.
