So many questions... Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Long time lurker crawling out to ask: What Algebra 2 would you suggest for my daughter? She has been working through and loving the AoPS textbooks, but is realizing that she would rather spend her time on music. However, she doesn't want to be bored in math. If you were to suggest a great, honors level algebra 2 curriculum, what would it be? Video instruction+textbook+ worked solutions would be her preference. One step down from AoPS. Thank you!

EKS Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 How about Foerster using the Math Without Borders lectures? Another option would be Derek Owens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoes+Ships+SealingWax Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 If she’s already completed AOPS Intro to Algebra she could give Well Trained Mind Academy’s AOPS PreCal a try. It’s still AOPS, but at a slower pace (32wks vs 22wks) with smaller classes (<15 students) & more teacher guidance / group work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your suggestions gave me direction. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_Bear Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Another source for AOPS is Royal Fireworks Press. I know nothing about that teacher. Though I do know that his Algebra class covers the Intro Book, Algebra 2 appears to cover Intermediate Algebra book as it is the only text listed for that class. My son is doing AOPS Geometry at WTMA this year. We self studied with AOPS so far. They do Alg 1, Alg 2 and then Geometry before Pre-Calc. The Algebra 2 syllabus in on the website and you can see what chapters of the Intermediate Algebra book you are expected to have covered.
