thescrappyhomeschooler Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Mathusee has been awesome for my big picture thinker, visual spatial learner. My kids have used MUS from Alpha to Pre-algebra. But, now they are taking an algebra class with another teacher and I'm not sure it's going so well. Just considering other options before going back to MUS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 You might also check out the pinned thread "Homeschooling High School Math" at the top of this board -- WTM board member Quark graciously compiled lots of facts and review info on many high school math programs and linked them all in that thread. Here is the page of that thread that is all about Algebra 1 programs. Happy reading! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganicJen Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Which algebra programs do you like and why? Thanks I like Saxon, maybe because it's sort of old school and reminds me of how I learned math or something. Anyway, the incremental approach is nice and there is a lot of review.

Lori D. Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) PS -- You did ask what people used and why ;) : DS#1 was my math-minded guy, and he really enjoyed Jacobs Algebra 1 in 8th grade (after going through Singapore Primary in elementary/early middle school grades, and the first half of Singapore New Elementary Math 1 in 7th grade). He liked the Mastery-based, incremental aspect of Jacobs, but especially that there was a real-life application for each topic, plus the sense of humor that popped up every so often in the word problems. If you have a student who prefers video lessons, you might check out Teaching Textbooks, Chalkdust, or VideoText. Edited October 24, 2017 by Lori D.
