[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While it has some really good problem sets and interesting word problems the big issue with Illustrative math is that it does NOT have a student textbook with worked examples. So if your kid is absent, is inattentive, wants to review how to solve the problem, wants to look ahead to see what is coming up and start figuring it out this program is not good. If the teacher is not good at explaining then it is a terrible program because neither the student or the parent can easily figure out how to solve the problems or understand the concept being taught. Other countries that do well in math like Singapore, Japan, etc. All have student math textbooks with worked examples= sample problems that show how to solve the problem and think about it. [/quote] IM Algebra student workbook has a summary in every lesson, explaining that lesson. But it's not an in-depth lecture like in a proper textbook. I don't know about elementary. [/quote]
