Changing math curriculum

[Guest Hopenn]

Hi, I need some of your wisdom.  My dd is finishing 8B Dimensions Math Common Core (a Singapore Math Program) and I don't know what math curriculum to use for 9th grade.  She is turning 13 in a couple of weeks and is pretty good in math, even though she says she doesn't like math.

Buyer beware, but it does look like higher levels of the Singapore math texts are available for sale at this site http://www.sgbox.com/singaporemath.html

 

I think your student having completed the 8b level is prepared to go which ever way they want with HS level math. Whether that's to continue the blended Alg/geo approach or go retro and study separates. http://mathwithoutborders.com/

It is worthwhile to spend time on odd ball classes like Counting & Probability concurrent with traditional math courses to give a taste of the possible.

I looked at textbook contents.  Your student should be very well prepared to tackle any Algebra 1 text (actually much would be review and you could skip those topics ).

Singapore Math has a good reputation.

We use Foerster's Algebra with Math Without Borders videos. It's going VERY well.
