Where can I find a solutions manual and testsfor Foeresters Alg II...

[Wendy in WI]

that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? :) I have been looking for a few months and it seems that I'll need to spend about 120.00 for the solutions manual and the test book. Yikes!

Does anyone some advice of where I can get these a little cheaper? Or is this the reality of high school classes?

Thanks,

You can purchase the solutions manual directly from the publisher (http://phcatalog.pearson.com/program_single.cfm?site_id=6&discipline_id=0&subarea_id=0&program_id=21023&prodview=2&searchtype=Author&searchterm=foerster) for about $45. You have to give proof of homeschooling, but it's easy and they are very nice! The tests cost over $50, but there are tests right in the book, so I'm not sure why you'd need an extra book for that.

That's what I did, too. After looking around all over, I ended up buying the Solutions Manual directly from the publisher. After getting a bum deal on Amazon Marketplace for the student text (I paid $35 for "Very Good" condition, and received a book full of writing which was virtually useless to me) I ended up buying the text from the publisher, too. It was only $40, which is quite a bit less than homeschool curriculum providers were asking.

Peace,

I agree w/Kathleen also. I also looked all over for the SM and could not find it. I did, however, find the TM via Amazon for a good price.

Check on www.homeschoolclassifieds.com I bought my set for around $45 (student text & sol'n manual like new).

I saw it listed in the Kolbe catalog and it seemed like a good idea, but I haven't heard of anyone who has used it.

I bought the student text online and will buy the solutions manual this summer. I bought the teacher's resource for Foerster's Algebra (1) book used and wound up not needing it at all. I wonder if the teacher's resource for this algebra is useful or not?
