Publisher Description:
Is your student's Intermediate Algebra fast approaching? Are you like many homeschool parents feeling just a bit overwhelmed! At Alpha Omega Publications, we've got the help you need! During the high school years, it is vitally important that math instruction provide adequate preparation for college entrance exams. Now that your child has completed Algebra I and Geometry, it's time for the LIFEPAC Algebra II Set. In this homeschool program, students focus on mastery of a single skill, and then move on to learn new concepts, laying a foundation for ever-increasing levels of proficiency. In LIFEPAC Algebra II, students will study concepts such as axioms, relations and functions, absolute value, graphs, linear equations, operations with polynomials, radical expressions, laws of radicals, quadratic equations and formulas, quadratic relations and systems, exponential functions, matrices, progressions, permutations, and probability.
But we've added even more features to help make homeschooling parents' lives easier! In LIFEPAC Algebra II, student worktexts include detailed math instruction and review, as well as plenty of opportunity for assessment of student progress. In order to encourage individualized instruction, we have included a teacher's guide designed to help you guide your student's learning according to his specific interests and needs. The Alpha Omega curriculum teacher's guide includes detailed teaching notes and a complete answer key which includes solutions for algebra-challenged parents!
A complete, Christian math curriculum that emphasizes skill mastery. Each Complete Boxed Set contains ten LIFEPACs and a teacher guide. The only exception is the Grade K Boxed Set, which contains two student books and a teacher guide. LIFEPACs only (no teacher guide) are also available for use with multiple students. Review and self-tests are built into the curriculum. LIFEPACs are thin, consumable student work texts. They are colorful in the elementary grades, but become less colorful as the grade level increases. Each set of ten LIFEPACs provides a year-long curriculum.
The spiral-bound teacher's guide contains a curriculum overview, teacher's notes, answer keys, and suggested guidelines (for scheduling, grading, study methods, etc). Daily lesson plans are not included. Teacher guides for grades K-1 provide more detailed teaching instruction than guides for grades 2-12. Why? Because the LIFEPAC curriculum facilitates the independent study approach. Starting in second grade, written instruction is included in each LIFEPAC so that the lessons are largely self-instructional. The teacher's responsibilities include introducing each LIFEPAC, setting a schedule, completing teacher checks, being available for student questions, administering and grading tests, and developing additional learning activities.
You might be wondering, "What's the difference between this curriculum and Horizons Math?" After all, both programs come from the same publisher and follow a similar scope and sequence up to the sixth grade. The main difference, in my opinion, is that Horizons is not self-instructional (written instruction is not included in workbooks). Another difference is that LIFEPACs offer standard practice problems whereas Horizons offers a greater variety of problems (mazes, decoding, etc) as well as standard drills, but LIFEPACs provide many more problems per workbook page. ~ Anh
