Can you help me with scheduling for this course?
DS has struggled with Saxon in the past. Would take sometimes 3 hours to finish a lesson and I often found the textbook in the trashcan! He was so frustrated with the text.
This year(8th) he is slowly working through Jacob's ALG. He will not finish it or finish it well for that matter, but at least has not been frustrated.
At first, I thought he should do Saxon Alg 1 next year in 9th. I think I was suffering from amnesia. But after reading threads here, I purchased a copy of Lial's (with DVT's very inexpensively) and love it! Especially all the real-world application word problems.
Looking at the text, each lesson has about 70-80 questions. Do your students do all these problems in one day? Have you been successful in completing the course in one year?
Do your students read the text then watch the DVTs or the other way around?
Thanks in advance.
