Jen the RD Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) My dd has moved slowly through math. No matter which program she's doing, math just takes her a long time to complete each day. She rarely misses anything in Horizons and struggles with Singapore. Obviously, her first choice is Horizons because it comes easily. However, I keep her in Singapore because of the discipline it requires to make her apply math. So, we probably won't finish Horizons 6 or SM 6B until mid or end of 7th. Will these 2 programs prepare her for Algebra I in 8th or should we consider a yr of pre-algebra? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jennifer Edited March 14, 2009 by Jen the RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngieW in Texas Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Between Horizons and Singapore, she should be able to move directly into Algebra I. If math is a struggle for her, then you might want to do something like alek's pre-algebra for one month or more to see if there are any gaps to fill before moving on. There's a free one month trial of aleks. Just do a google search on "aleks free month trial". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen the RD Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Thank you, Angie. I'll take a look at Alek's. Someone on the HS board also recommended looking at Life of Fred's. They suggested just doing it for several months to fill gaps, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
