Rhondabee Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Is one better than the other for an average kid who isn't stellar at math, though he certainly doesn't struggle with it? ETA: It is obvious that the books are very different from the TOC that are listed on the CD website. I just can't imagine why - tho' Mr. Moseley did mention in the FAQ video that the approach to teaching Math has changed significantly in the last 15 years. I guess those "significant changes" show up in the "New" version? Thanks! Rhonda Edited January 28, 2009 by Rhondabee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSKLNG Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 ....after much thought I figure that "Traditional" is VHS and "New" is the DVD. Other than that I cannot pinpoint anything else. If I am wrong, I would appreciate some clarification. This material is in my shopping list. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle in AL Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The difference is the textbook. Traditional has a more colorful text. We found some of the explanations in concepts lacking, but dd did not watch the DVD's attentively so some of this is her fault. The new text is less colorful from what I've heard. Both come with DVD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langfam Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Mr. Mosely said he preferred the new program because it's more focused on core material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhondabee Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Mr. Mosely said he preferred the new program because it's more focused on core material. I guess I wonder why they offer the Traditional if the New is the preferred method? That just seems like one more choice I have to make in partial (and sometimes total!) ignorance. :glare: Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
