Looking for Online Precalculus AND the text you use at home

[Kendall]

My SIL is looking for online precalc.

 

I am looking to explore changing precalc texts we use-I can teach it.(Foerster)

 

Any recommendations for either of us?

My Dd is taking it online at Wilson Hill and it is going well. (I am not, not mathy and cannot evaluate a textbook at this level.)

They use this text:

Derek Owens for online, either self-grading (half-priced) or graded. No live teacher.

Blue Tent for a teacher.

The book above has videos online: https://www.larsonprecalculus.com/precalc9e/

One of my sons took Precalculus through Well-Trained Mind Academy, using the AoPS textbook.

Do you think a student who has not done much AoPS (just prealg) would be okay in that? He has used Foerster texts for Alg 1 and 2.

Thanks for mentioning the Larson text. It looks very promising for me. 

 

She will look into Blue tent/Derek Owens and WTM.

I wouldn't, unless your student recreates in math. DS17 did AoPS precalc, but I didn't have DD15 do it. I might have her take it later this year, but only after she has finished a regular precalc, to help her go deeper before calculus.

Thank you, that helps so much.

I wouldn't jump into AoPS with precalc for most students. 

Check WTMA though. I think they had another section that used a different book.
