What do you recommend for Pre-Algebra?

Shormann Pre-Algebra Self-Paced eLearning Course is recommended.

Based on John Saxon’s teaching methods, this self paced eLearning course features daily video lessons, interactive assignments with automated grading and grade recording, video solutions, Q&A support, and much more.

Covering all the concepts in Saxon 87 as well as some from Saxon Algebra 1/2, this course teaches short, incremental lessons with continual review that develops fluency and provides excellent preparation for Algebra 1.

After 20 years of teaching math to hundreds of thousands of homeschoolers around the world, I have seen how fluency (speed and accuracy) in the essential skills make learning Algebra 1 faster and easier.  Learn More: Shormann Pre-Algebra

Why is Pre-Algebra important?

Unlike other subjects like history and literature, math is a language. Shormann Math is one of the few curricula that teaches math as a language. Math is the language of science, an important tool required to understand God and the world He created. A pre-algebra course is a normal and recommended part of a child’s math education as they make the journey from a world of mostly numbers (arithmetic) to a world of mostly letters (algebra). First, it’s important to understand that most students who struggle in Algebra 1 do not struggle with algebraic concepts. Generally, there is a lack of fluency in basic arithmetic skills like division, ratios, reducing fractions, and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents.
