OnMyOwn Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 My dd is finishing up Saxon algebra II and will start precalculus soon. I thought it would be nice to find something that might give her an overview of the big topics in algebra II and leave her with a deeper conceptual understanding. Last summer, she quickly went through Foerster's algebra I and that was worthwhile. For this summer, I was looking at The Teaching Co.'s Algebra II lectures. Does anyone know if these would be good for achieving a deeper conceptual understanding? I'm open to other suggestions as well. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad S Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I've only seen the Teaching Co Algebra I lectures, FYI, but I would go hrough Foerster's algebra 2 rather than the Teaching Co. lectures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 What he said, especially if you already know Foerster worked the first time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I assume you mean http://www.thegreatcourses.com/courses/algebra-ii.html We watched Algebra 1 with Prof Sellers a while back. He is a good lecturer. We borrowed it from the library. I would not have purchased it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyOwn Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 Thank you. I will consider Foerster's for the summer, but I really just wanted something she could simply watch to get an overview of the big ideas in algebra II. She is solid on doing the calculations and does not need any additional practice in actually doing the math. But, with the way Saxon hits on things in dribs and drabs, I thought it might benefit her to step back and see the big picture. Foerster's algebra I is super user friendly and readable. I had heard that Foerster's algebra II is not like that, but I do not own it. I'm also thinking about having her watch the TabletClass lectures if they go on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkT Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Some other videos for Algebra 2: http://www.onlinemathlearning.com/grade-11.html I can not attest to their quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
