Jenn121 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Which would you choose for a student coming out of Math-u-See? Math U See is just not clicking with her anymore. Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Lials. We moved from MUS to Lial's and it really works well. Lial's takes a very similar sequence and is mastery based. It also starts each topic from the beginning, so it fills in the gaps MUS leaves. I was able to check out a copy of Foersters from the library and we didn't find the explanations as clear as those in Lial's. I suggest looking at both, but we really found LIal's to be the perfect way to step up and out of MUS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 I've used all three of those with at least one of my teens. I vote for Lial. Though if you're coming from MUS prealg you may want to grab Lial's prealg first and just go through it quickly, using the chapter reviews to see where she could use some extra practice. Then go straight into Lial's alg 1. Foerster's word problems are pretty meaty, where MUS is weaker on them. It may be too big a jump for the first year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
