First time homeschooler here- 7th grade…. I went down an endless rabbit hole and landed on Denison. Seemed like there are two to chose from- success versus standard. With pre-algebra there was only standard. Is that correct? I already bought it. The reviews on Denison sold me. I chose Gather Round for everything else.
@@julesybethmedlini Welcome to the homeschooling world!! Yes, Pre-Algebra has the standard course only. Success will be available for the other courses, except for Advanced Algebra & Trigonometry.
So far in the chapters I am seeing are what my son is already doing in 7th. I am wondering if chapters could just be skipped or is all of Pre- Algebra review?
I noticed the same thing. But we had such a struggle with math in 7th grade that it would not hurt for us to shore up that foundation a bit. It's possible she will understand it more completely with another instructor. Also, we ended up taking a couple of months off for summer. I gave my daughter an "assessment" to see how much has evaporated. I've decided the review wouldn't hurt. She should be able to move through that material quickly.
@@danalee8658 Here’s a link to the skills/concepts covered in each chapter of pre-algebra. I will also mention that my son completed Math-U-See’s Pre-Algebra course for grade 7, and since our family was so sick that year, math lessons were not sticking with him. Then, I switched to Denison and had him re-take Pre-Algebra so I knew he would be ready for Algebra 1.

@@justjasmine79 Yes! Exactly! I tried to tag you in the comment above, but I’m not sure it would let me? lol. Anyway, what I responded to Dana also pertains to you.
@@bethanypetersen7005 Yes, he recommends the same one for Algebra 1. I just checked the parent manual to make sure because we are doing Algebra 1 this year too! 🎉

Thank you so much for this review! I appreciate it so much. My middle school will be starting Denison pre algebra this coming school year ❤
Glad it was helpful! That’s so exciting
Btw my daughter completed her first lesson today and she actually finished with a smile on her face. She says she’s going to like this class.
Awwwww Mr. Denison is fun when teaching the lessons. Wishing you guys a fantastic school year!

Do you know if algebra 1 uses the same calculator by chance? We just purchased algebra 1 but haven't received it yet.
