my2boysteacher Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I'm looking at my options for Algebra 2, and I see that Dr. Callahan uses College Algebra with Trig for his text. My sons have used Jacob's Algebra 1 and Geometry and it was a good fit for them. I'm wondering if this would be a good option for Algebra 2, or if I should switch to Foerster.

The Girls' Mom Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I have no issues with the book itself, but if a student isn't good at self-teaching, or doesn't have a teacher working with them, this is not for them. The videos do not teach lessons, they only go over select areas. That said, my dd did manage to prepare herself for the College Algebra CLEP test using it, and passed the test.

my2boysteacher Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 That is definitely another consideration- the self teaching aspect. So far they have done very well with no outside help or videos. They prefer a textbook they work through on their own, though they do work together often times. Thank you for your comment. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
