kiana Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 The only way I'd consider it a high school algebra course is for a student who is not currently capable of any sort of regular algebra course and is probably not going to college, but needs a credit that says "algebra" for graduation. It's a fine prep for a more rigorous algebra course but really doesn't prepare them enough to move on in math Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I agree with the above. We used parts of Key to Algebra as a prep prior to PRE-Algebra. I really love it, but it is not a high school Algebra course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think it is fine as a regular level algebra course for the child not going any further really in math. There are a lot of programs I would consider it to be equal to, such as Teaching Textbooks. But again, I would not use Teaching Textbooks for a child who is college bound in a STEM field. Every child has different objectives and needs something different. Amazingly, Texas is changing their TEKS. Everyone is in an uproar over the new TEKS being so hard. But, I found that everything in the new TEKS that others consider to be too hard are things that were covered in the easier problem set even of the Jacob's algebra.
