Math Experts: Need some input about next year...(7th grade)

[Shelly in IL]

Currently 6th grade ds is working through Lial's Basic College Math. We have Lial's Introductory Algebra purchased for next year, but we are not married to it if there is something better.

I've heard alot about Jacob's. Is this something that you would recommend over Lials? If so, what level would you put him in?

He is having success with Lial's this year. Maintaining approx a 94% if that has any bearing on your opinion. Thanks.

Hi Shelly,

You may want to post this question on the high school board too. I read over there a lot, and I think their experience with Lial's may be helpful to you.
