So, according to Videotext, we have fulfilled :
Pre-Algebra
Algebra I
Algebra II
Geometry
Trig.
Pre-Cal
What I want to know is---big breath----Do I choose Saxon Advanced Math and then their Calculus? The only thing I really must have in a program is how to use the TI-84 calculator. I know this is introduced way back in Algebra in most programs. If I were to back way up just for the calculator lesson part, which programs make good use of the calculator? Or even better, what Pre-Cal or Cal program uses the calculator well? VideoText doesn't cover ANY calculator use, but now that we have done without it, I really want to know how it works for my future engineer and the SAT's. I need some recommendations.

I have also heard from several people that they just love VideoText. Then I also hear that it really doesn't cover a concept in depth. I would love to know what math book would review the Algebras/Geom/Trigs. before I move onto Calculus. I'm thinking Saxon Advanced Math. Need advice here.

Sorry Ladies, I know this post is long winded and I have alot of questions spinnin through my noggin.

Thanks for the help,

Tammy

Are you selling VT Geo? We also just finished the first set and if I could find it cheaply enough, I'd love to start them on the second one...

Are you selling? :)

I have been thinking that the last two geometry modules haven't been released yet. We're just finishing Module C and I need to order D fairly soon.

I'm one of the folks who think that the ideal would be to start VT early and follow with something that deals with concepts in more depth, so I'm looking at Chalkdust pre-calc, Lials, and LOF as options for where to go next.

I, too, would really like to know how you got ahold of the later modules of Geometry! Please share!!
