Wildwood Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Just looking for reviews on PH Pre-Algebra. I'm planning to use it with my daughter and wonder how others have liked it. Any weaknesses? Any thoughts are appreciated : ) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ondreeuh Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 We used PH Algebra (2012 version) and overall I didn't like it. The explanations were great and it was easy to teach from, but the answer key had a ton of mistakes and the tests were super long and hard. I used the homework worksheets and had to routinely cut problems. Some of the worksheets had formatting errors. After 8 chapters we switched back to Holt 2007 (Burger) which we had used for courses 1-3. The support materials are much better (tests with 20 problems instead of 40, review worksheets, etc). There are free videos online for the holt books too. If you go with Holt, you need the "Teacher One-Srop Planner" for the support materials. I get the student text and teacher's edition, and I teach from the TE and use it to grade homework. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
