Experienced Foerster Algebra I text users, a question


Recommended Posts

My dd (age 13, grade8) is working her way through the text.  We’ve flip flopped between it and AOPS a couple of times and have finally come back to it for good. Now she needs to make up for “lost” (not really lost, but for Foerster purposes, lost) time.  She has done well with Foerster until the last chapter, chapter six, on the quadratic equation.  She made a 78 on the chapter test.  Then I had her take the mid-term (chapters 1-6) and she made a 75.  

I’m not a fan of grades in general but she wants grades.  I also think it’s instructive for our purposes. My question is this: how should we proceed? I did have her rework the missed chapter six questions to correctness.  Should I just do the same on the midterm and call it good? Most of what she missed is careless kinds of errors (she will rarely check her work) or definitions that she didn’t memorize—that sort of thing.  

What would you do?
