Frontier Mom Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 I am using this next year and, while looking through the teacher guide, I saw the small copies of the overheads. Can I buy these as a pdf file or something? If not, how did others teach without these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm working through Jacobs Algebra for the 2nd time. My oldest used it last year and my middle dd is using it this year. You don't need the overheads. I just read through the student text with my dd and went over the set 2 problems as examples before assigning sets 1 and 3. Sets 2 and 3 are nearly identical, but with different numbers. If my dd had a lot of difficulty with set 3, I'd assign set 2 for the next day. I didn't use the teaching suggestions in the teacher guide at all. I used the teacher guide exclusively for the answer key in the back. I do use the test masters (a separate booklet) that has tests for each chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just use the teacher's manual for the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
