For those of you who have used MUS through the highschool years, would you mind offering any feedback on your experiences? I know that many encourage the use of Teaching Textbooks and Jacobs Algebra/Geometry. But the idea of giving my son a big, fat book, and asking him to teach himself algebra, just seems so….blech.
My soon-to-be 11 year old is very, very math savvy. Always has been. We basically have used no math curriculum at all with him until this year when he took a very traditional pre-algebra course in a small group class. He is blazing through it.
However, we will not be enrolling him in the algebra small group class next year with a bunch of high schoolers. No way. He loves math, and could probably handle one of the big-thick-texts…but, I want to KEEP him loving math. I use MUS with my younger kids, and we love Steve Demme’s manner and presentation.
I have heard little about his higher math series though, and would value any experiences you would share!
Thanks!
