Dentdiva5 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Does anyone have experience with either of these? My DD11 is finishing up Singapore 5B and we are trying to decide between Chalk Dust Basic Math and then continuing with CD for Pre-Algebra and beyond OR do Singapore 6a/b and then move into Mr. D Math for Pre-Algebra and beyond. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 We do Mr. D math through a live co-op class in Tampa. We did pre-algebra last year and are doing Algebra I this year. My son loves it. I love it too because it requires absolutely zero input from me. He watches the video and does the work. Mr. D offers two live help sessions a week in which students can log in to get live help if they need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastianCat Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 My kids are both taking math classes through the live co-op in Tampa with Mr. D. math. DS is taking Geometry this year and took Algebra I last year. DD is taking Pre-Algebra this year. We have no experience with Chalk Dust. I love Mr. D. because the curriculum is challenging enough without being overwhelming. It's a mastery based approach, with online quizzes for each section and spiral reviews every 3 sections. Everything is done online. Occasionally one will forget a concept from class, and will go back to watch the pre-recorded video for that section, but neither has ever needed the online help sessions. Mr. D. also teaches readiness courses for 6 weeks over the summer, and both of my kids have done those and liked them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was especially curious if Mr. D taught using a mastery method, which is what we want! Thanks again!
