Teaching Textbooks Pre-Algebra Questions in format

[Kelley]

I was curious if you could describe the format of the lessons. I have been to the website but had a few more questions.

I noticed that there were only 126 lessons.
Are there exams, quizes, or chapter Reviews?

How are these scheduled in the program?

I am used to having a Chapter Review the day prior to an exam, is this part of the curriculum?

Do you feel that there is adequate review in this program?

Thanks!

My daughter is using TT pre-algebra this year. The lessons are divided into "chapters" and at the end of each chapter there is a test. There are no chapter reviews but each lesson has review built into it. My daughter has not had any trouble with the tests as far as not having enough review. The chapters vary in length probably between 6 lessons and maybe 10.

There is a lot of review built in (my kids say it is formatted a lot like Saxon which they have used in the past).
It's been perfect for my daughter this year as she had gotten a bit behind in math and needed a pre-algebra program that would beef up her fraction and decimals skills as well as introduce basic Algebra concepts. She had finished MUS Epsilon last year and didn't really have time to do both the Zeta and Pre-Algebra book this year.

I have a schedule for TT Pre-Algebra on my blog if it would help you to "see". (Under schedules)

Thanks! That helped!

Adequate review. . .

My children do each lesson, then check their work and re-work missed items.

I feel they go into the test "knowing" the information.

One thing, DS2 had issues with is the True/ False questions at the beginning.

I believe his complaint went along the lines of, "You won't get those true/false answers right unless you actually read / pay attention to the lessons."

Yep. . .:rolleyes:

(We moved DS2 into TT after Saxon.)
