[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what kind of math are they doing at Basis? More advanced than geometry in 8th grade which appears to be the standard for advanced math students at area privates. [/quote] Algebra 1 and Algebra II. Algebra I is a very speedy pace, much faster than the academies in MoCo (Takoma Park, Eastern). For many students, week-ends are spent reviewing the five chapters covered during the week.[/quote] Just to comment on the above post, the five chapters covered during the week is not what 5 chapters of a math book usually means. Its Saxon math so there are about 120 lessons/chapters in the book, each is short. So compare that to the number of "chapters" in your child's book to get about 4 lessons a week similar to a chapter in some texts. But it does move at a good pace with lots of referencing to past work. Also, it seems each homework or test has most of the questions from past chapters.[/quote]
