[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept hearing about these study packets, and they are not very useful. I really do not get it. Algebra has not changed in. 100 years, why can't they find a book that has everything a kid need to know?[/quote] Reading has not changed in 100 years, why can't they find a book that has everything a kid needs to know?[/quote] Reading has not changed but reading material has changed; English has evolved as well. Even then, some of the older readers are still popular today and they are 50 years old. But algebra really has not changed. A person can really learn algebra from an older text book. I know some home schoolers do exactly that. http://oilf.blogspot.com/2013/03/math-problems-of-week-multiplying.html see this post for example. Don't you agree that the older text offer superior problems to work on? [/quote]
