Can you help me with scheduling for Alg 1 and Precal?
Do your DC watch the DVDs then read the text or vice versa?
How many problems do they complete per day?
About how many sections can they finish per week?

Thanks so much!:)

My dc 12 is in CD Pre -Alg.

Day 1: watch dvd lesson of one Section, do 1/2 Section of problems (odds) --
2 hours

Day 2: do 1/2 Section (evens) -- 1 hour

We repeat this pattern. He works w/ dh on Saturdays going over missed problems and cementing concepts.

My ds is in CD Geometry. He starts by watching the lecture and then does the even problems (or their equivalent number if there are multi-part problems). We later go over any problems missed.

Generally, he does one section per day, unless the lecture is longer than around 20 minutes or there is an abnormally large number of problems.

He also spends a day on each mid-chapter review, chapter self test and, sometimes, the chapter review.

He spends an hour each morning on math and, if necessary, finishes in the evening ("homework").

The pre-algebra book is organized quite differently than the geometry book.

For pre-algebra, I ended up splitting each chapter section into its sub-parts (the objectives: A, B, C, etc.) and doing about one each day (watching just that snippet of the lecture and then doing the problems).
