busymama7 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Does this exist at for a homeschool student? I am strong in math but have no desire to re invent anything. We are follow the curriculum homeschoolers. I didn't finish the other thread so if the answer is on there I apologize. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) I suggest you post on the highschool board. There are knowledgeable people there. Edited February 10 by regentrude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but we used Teaching Textbooks and found it to be a wonderful curriculum that very well prepared my teen for college level math. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartstrings Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 It’s not integrated but I just switched my kiddo back to CLE for the spiral review aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScoutTN Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Integrated meaning not divided into Alg 1 & 2, Geometry etc. Some of every topic each year for at least 3 years of high school math. Dimensions is Singapore’s post-arithmetic, integrated curriculum. I haven’t used it and don’t know the scope and sequence, but I think the quality/challenge level is good, based on my friends who have chosen it. The high school board is the best place to look for answers to this question, as Regentrude said. Edited February 10 by ScoutTN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 You might want to take a look at the textbooks out there for pre-IB studies (and then actual IB texts for the last two years of high school). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The high school board is the best place to look for answers to this question, as Regentrude said. Everything I read about Singapore Dimensions (directly on the Singapore website) sends mixed messages about the scope and sequence and coverage. On one hand it says (bolding mine): "Pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, data analysis, probability, and some advanced math topics are included in this rigorous series." But on the same page it says (bolding mine): "SEQUENCED FOR SUCCESS Dimensions Math 7 and 8 together cover Pre-algebra and Algebra 1 topics, with some geometry. Dimensions Math 6 is aligned with Common Core Standards, and so while it does include some Pre-algebra topics, it is not a Pre-algebra text in the traditional sense. It is a Grade 6 text. Dimensions Math 7 assumes students are new to Pre-algebra topics, such as integers and simple algebraic equations, but goes farther into Algebra topics than would a traditional Pre-algebra text. Therefore, Dimensions Math 8 has greater expectations for what students have covered previously (particularly with regard to linear equations) than a traditional Algebra 1 text. The two grades, 6 and 7, are meant to be done as a set. After grade 8, students may move onto Geometry and Algebra 2 programs." Suddenly it feels a little less "integrated" and more "heavy pre-algebra year edging into algebra, which leaves room in the algebra year to dip into a little bit of geometry and other interesting topics". Which might be exactly what people are looking for...but isn't exactly what they advertise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMD Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 You could look at books outside the US. Like MEP maths suggested above (UK), Aus textbooks are integrated for highschool maths. Cambridge & Jacaranda do decent ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
