[quote=Anonymous]My child is in Algebra I in 7th grade. He is a good at math and scores well on MAP/PARCC. Because of the lack of textbooks and clearly outlined curriculum, it is hard for me to determine where the gaps exist, both for him and the MCPS curriculum. My son will use Khan Academy if he needs further explanation of a concept but is not a fan. My child likes his teacher and from what I can tell, the teacher does a great job with the MCPS curriculum. I purchased an Algebra I textbook that his teacher recommended. However, in reviewing the textbook, it seems the topics covered in Algebra I in MCPS only address the surface. Am I missing something? Will the topics covered in the textbook show up again in Geometry, Algebra II?

I have hired a Blair student as a tutor to go over concepts in the textbook but now I think there has to be an easier approach as I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what the tutor should cover as I have no guidance/outline from the course (only worksheets) and don't want to bother the teacher. I did find some links on the MCPS website, but the info is too general. It is difficult to follow the textbook because MCPS unit topics don't follow the same order if that makes sense!

Is there an online source/curriculum that I could follow to fill in the gaps or a class that meets once a week for Algebra enrichment? [/quote]
