Math Relief Algebra 1 Question about Levels

[mamasue]

First, I want to say I love this program! Thank you to all who shared about it on this board!

We are on lesson 30 of level 1, and I need to order the next level. I had only ordered the one level to look over, and we decided to keep it. My dc is in 10th grade, so we're not at grade level. We will be doing as much as possible through the summer.

Now, my question is should I purchase the level 2 and 3? Or do you recommend just doing level 1 & 2 of Algebra 1, and then go on to Geometry or Algebra 11? Then, if time permits, go back and do level 3? Or should I just have him try to get through all three levels before going on? What would you do if you were me?

If I remember correctly the 3rd level is optional. If I were pressed for time I would skip it and go onto geometry.

Just my two cents worth,

First, explain your situation--older son, going to college or not, how well he is currently doing, etc. Mr. Firebaugh has always graciously answered my questions.

Note: I don't think you can use the "Contact me" page at the website--instead just note the email address and write directly. It made a difference when I last contacted him (a year or so ago).

Personally, if my child were planning to go on *at all* in math, I would have him do Phase 3.... but, I do think I would ask Mr. Firebaught for input in *your* unique situation...

HTH,

You can call Math Relief at the number on the website. Definitely ask, but if you want to do Algebra II with Math Relief I think you need to do all three phases. If you do a different Algebra 2 though, you might be ok with just phase 1 and phase 2.

Hope that helps,

Veronica

the one in Algebra I. I would definitely plan to do all 3 phases of Algebra II.
