Shmoop University Math Courses

[dfrecore]

Thanks. The ACE site says:
"Credit Recommendation: Students must complete this course(SHMO-0007) and Pre-Algebra II (SHMO-0008) to receive the credit recommendation of 3 semester hours in college mathematics in the lower-division baccalaureate degree category (7/16)."

Does anyone know of a college that will give credit for this? I am googling but nothing is jumping out. I'm going to continue searching but thought maybe someone else already found the answer. My middle schoolers have completed pre-algebra at home. I was going to have them do pre-algebra practice exercises over the summer anyway so as not to lose skills, before diving into Algebra in the Fall. But if there is a college that will accept this as credit, I could have them work thru shmoop and get that credit.

There's ACE-recommended for college credit, and then there's actually getting college credit for something.

I don't think you'll find a college that will consider Pre-Algebra as college-level.

Also, it doesn't matter if it does, if your kids don't end up going there. Just because a college will accept the course and give credit for it, doesn't mean it will transfer somewhere. So you just have random college credit sitting at a school somewhere...

Your best bet, if you're thinking about having them take this course, is to just have them take it (doesn't cost extra besides the monthly fee which you'd have to pay anyway) and then open ACE accounts for them and have it transferred there. Then, at some time in the future, they went to a school that would accept it, great. It won't have cost you anything to have the ACE account for all that time, and a minimal $15 to send the ACE transcript in when you were ready.
