Instruction...Algebra I

                  ...Algebra II is organized in a similar fashion

			STOP THE BATTLE SCARS WITH OUR ALGEBRA COURSES

THREE PHASES = ONE FULL YEAR

Each phase constitutes about 10-12 weeks of study, or roughly 1/3 of the school year.  Each phase comes complete with nearly 50 video lessons, 50 assignments and tests, and 50 answer and solutions keys-approximately 250 pages of instructional material-- everything you need for a stand-alone curriculum.

1) Phase 1 - The Basics of Algebra
This covers the major topics needed to understand algebra. Many schools do not cover material beyond this level in an entire year. This phase can be used in a pre-algebra situation and is currently used as early as 6th-grade level.

2) Phase 2 - Continuation of the Basics
Additional concepts are presented to supplement the basics, topics which are not as common, but are needed to fully understand the subject of algebra. For students who work slowly, Phases 1 and 2 could constitute a full year of credit in Algebra I.

3) Phase 3 - Advanced Topics
This phase provides material which prepares the student for additional work in mathematical subjects.

FIVE WAYS TO USE EACH PHASE

1) As a core curriculum
The tapes can be used either with or without a teacher; the course is comprehensive, without need for additional instruction. However, we strongly recommend supervision as a source of motivation (most students tend to require encouragement to study mathematics, as well as other academic subjects).

2) As a curriculum supplement
There are many good programs of study available from Christian suppliers. But, sometimes students have difficulty reading a textbook and understanding mathematical concepts. Students can then locate corresponding subject matter on the tapes to receive verbal explanation of the topic.

3) As a tutoring tool
When a student becomes confused and seems "lost", these tapes are an excellent resource for the comprehension of algebra concepts.

4) As a means of variety
This is particularly needed for students who use individualized curriculums. Boredom and lack of self-motivation are probably the greatest enemies which stand in the path of success for these students.

5) As additional practice exercises
There are thousands of sample problems, covering every type of situation which arises for any given concept. And every exercise is accompanied by a detailed solution, helping the student to trace the steps that are required to get the answer.

"I see this as a more time and money effective solution than A Beka's video course. We keep the videos rather than returning them... Even the most expensive choice is only about the same as A Beka's cost for rental of their course. We do not have to watch all of the classroom interaction that is part of the A Beka course, which saves time . . ."
