redquilthorse Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 We are using Tabletclass algebra, and we hit chapter 4, graphing linear equations. My son needed more help, so I pulled out my copy of Foerster's algebra. I noticed that Foerster doesn't cover graphing until chapter 7. Should I be concerned about the order in which Tabletclass introduces topics? I want to be sure I'm not making things harder on my son than necessary, since we are doing Algebra somewhat early (7th grade). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also introduced in TC Pre-Algebra early on as well. So, our son was even younger and less familiar with these concepts. I would say it is probably one of the more challenging sections to grasp. Given that, treat it as such. We took some detours at that juncture and did use supplementals from both Khan Academy and AoPS. With TC, you have to know when to slow down and when to speed up. That's just the nature of the course. You have hit one of the speed bumps, that's all. :) https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-eighth-grade-math/cc-8th-linear-equations-functions/8th-solutions-to-two-var-linear-equations/v/graphs-of-linear-equations http://aops-cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/products/prealgebra/exc2.pdf My 2c FWIW, Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
