Favorite Algebra II text? Jann in TX, any other math gurus?

[carolinagirl710]

Need recommendations for Algebra II text. DD has completed Algebra using Foerester's and will complete Geometry using Jurgensen's text.

 

I would need solution guides, teacher's editions....basically anything that would hold my hand through the course.

 

Thanks!

Foerster's is a great Algebra 2 program.

 

My own dds are using Lial's Intermediate Algebra I've been very pleased with it.

 

My 3 favorites are Foerster, Lial and Larson (Chalkdust). All cover the same material.

My dd used Lial's Intermediate Algebra, and moved on to Lial's PreCalculus. Then we used a Larson text for Calc I. :)

One helpful text that I have found as a supplement for other texts is Euler's Elements of Algebra. It can be downloaded from Google books. Euler's explanations are quite clear and helpful for the understanding of Algebra.

The only Algebra II I've used is Kinetic Books. My oldest used it while it was still in beta testing. My middle dd started it last week. I've been happy with their Algebra I and Algebra II. The immediate feedback on the practice problems is particularly helpful along with the stepped help. Stepped help isn't available for all the practice problems, but it is there for a lot of them.
