Westcott Courses and Omega Math

[dfrecore]

Another great resource. My son is only in 8th grade, but his school teaches Algebra I and Algebra II, with very little Geometry (he's in Algebra II). Then, when he goes to High School next year, he will be switching to the Integrated Math I, II and III sequence. So he will not have enough Geometry under his belt to succeed in Integrated Math II or III, but will have covered a lot of the Math II & III Algebra coursework. They have no idea what to do with him, but I know that I don't want him repeating so much coursework, being bored in class, and then causing trouble because of it.

So, I've decided that the best bet is to have him do a self-paced Geometry course through a college, and already have him doing Algebra I & II through Khan Academy, so that there are no gaps, and he can go straight into Precalculus when he goes into 9th grade. I can imagine that the schools will object unless I have "proof" that he knows the necessary geometry to succeed in Precalc (and I don't blame them for this).
