countrymum Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Ok, I am looking at BJU as a possible switch from RS. My biggest concern is not being able to do Algebra in 8th. I also am looking at miquon for my kindy student, so this is mostly older levels (3rd and 5th) questions. Looking at manuals BJU looks about 1/2 year behind where RS is for 3rd and 5th. How do you place? And like I said my husband who is an engineer wants algebra 1 in 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I just responded in your other thread, but if your dc is placing in the 5th grade materials (and he’s in 4th), then he will be on track to take BJU Pre-Algebra in 7th grade and then you can switch to whatever publisher you want for algebra and above for 8th. If you feel he should be in the 4th grade book, then I’d make the switch at pre-algebra to a different publisher. If he’s solid on arithmetic through 6th grade, he should be able to go from BJU 6th to a Pre-Algebra course, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janeway Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I have been told you can skip Fundamentals of Math and go straight from Math 6 to prealgebra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SillyOldMom Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 We're going to finish Math 6 and go straight to prealgebra from a different publisher. My older son did BJU prealgebra and didn't enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
