[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The student doesn't need a textbook to find out what topics they missed. That's not nitpicking; it's a fact.

Now, you may think it's more effective for your child to go over pp. 120-131 in a textbook than to look up the topics on line. But that's a different question.[/quote]

If there were accessible on-line materials that show concrete examples of the problems, a clear explanation, and a range of problems reflecting the levels of complexity and rigor expected then yes. [b]This does not exist.[/b] 2.0 is boondoggle of vague non-sense eduspeak and language rather than math based exercises that belongs no where near a math curriculum. [/quote]

The whole Internet, and no accessible on-line materials about algebra?[/quote]

The problem is that 2.0 is not about demonstrating your understanding of Algebra.  It's about giving a long winded, convoluted explanation of how you solved the problem vs. the fact you know how to solve the problem.  The internet does not help you with the format the county wants the kids to be able to regurgitate.[/quote]
