Is it true that you can mix editions? I've ordered a 1999 student text - could I use a 1994 teacher's edition with that?

I know you can mix eds for what Prentice Hall sells in the Classics editions of AL II. I did not use the AL I course so I'm not sure about it, but I am guessing that it would be the same. I know that for AL II, the actual text has not changed since 1991 or 1994.

Yes, you can mix student editions with the teacher's manuals.

I have the 1990 Student Edition and the 1994 teacher's edition. Both of mine are Addison-Wesley textbooks. My 1990 SE had a chapter on BASIC (computer language), but the 1994 TE substituted this chapter with one on statistics. I think I do remember some minor differences in some of the problems. There may have been different "things" such as oranges instead of apples used in a story problem, but the numbers were still the same and so the answers were still the same. I do think my chapter order was a bit different, but it wasn't hard to match them up for they still retained the same chapter heading.

My former post is about the Algebra 1 book.

I am also considering the videos offered here:

They match the Foerster's text, and are just $60....but then, $60 is more than I have this month after buying a Lial's text & solutions manual ($20), and Foerster's textbook ($10).

The teacher's manual is much more affordable right now - about $10!

Thank you for your help.
