When did you move to Algebra when using Rod and Staff math..

[4pillars]

My son really wants to move on to Algebra!! He is at the very end of Rod and Staff 6 and has done extremely well with it. When can I move him on to algebra? Should I go ahead and do the 7th grade Rod and Staff book first? We were planning on doing Teaching Textbooks after Rod and Staff. Thanks for any suggestions.

to a pre-algebra program that reviews basic math while doing some beginning algebra.

R&S math 7 and 8 doesn't have enough pre-algebra imho. I have both levels of tm's if anyone wants to buy them at half price.

We skipped level 7 of R&S; went to 8 for pre-algebra; then the first four Keys to Algebra books. From there to Jacob's Algebra.

It's been a smooth transition.

We went through 7, then he jumped right into algebra.

That's what we did, too -- completed 7 and went into Algebra in 8th grade.
