Have you heard of Dive into Math?
I think this might be what you are looking for! It goes along with Saxon Math! I don't know if you have looked into working with Saxon, but I might! I know a lot of people who use it, unless someone else has a better plan!

I started using Teaching Textbooks with my oldest son. He started Algebra this year and after painstaking research I found this curriculum. It is written by two homeschoolers to the child not the parent in a language they can understand. It comes with CDs so that you can watch the problem being worked out on the computer. I am pretty sure they have 7th grade and they also have an assessment test you can give to him to see where to place him. I will be switching #2 son after he finishes what he is working on after the holiday. Here is the link: www.teachingtextbooks.com
I believe I found it on Ebay too.

I am watching the comments here, because that is a good question. I have one ready for algebra also, and I am resolved to change math programs as soon as she is done with this book. This one has tooooo many errors in the answer key. Won't be long -- we can't stand busywork, and we are skipping a lot. I am off to see whether we can get online samples of Teaching Textbook.

Sorry, I don't have any experience with that curriculum to answer your question. I was just visiting and enjoying the picture of your children on your profile. It is cute.

I will ditto Teaching Textbooks. Alek (10) is doing the 7th grade level TT & he's doing GREAT! He was already a year ahead in Singapore Math so I tested him for TT & really, he probably could've done PreAlgebra. But there were some concepts in the 7th grade level that I didn't think he had learned in Singapore Math. We used Singapore Math from preK until this year with him.

It's an awesome program. There is a lecture they listen to on the CD & they do about 5 practice problems and then around 20 problems after that. They put in their answer after they work out the problem & the program tells them if they're right or wrong. One time I even heard it say something like he had the right answer, but he needed to reduce the fraction. If you get it wrong a second time, it will walk you through the problem, step by step and show you how to do it correctly.

It does come with a workbook that contains all of the problems and it seems like a teacher's guide too with the answers, but I can't find that. I haven't needed it though. That way if your computer's tied up, they can at least do the problems in the book.

They just came out with the 6th grade level & I'm waiting till they have one Gracie can use. It's so nice to have "someone else" teach math. Frees up a little of my time!

Anyway, we like it!
Love, Alyssa
