I wonder if this was the program that she used. It can be done and you can teach an old dog new tricks.Carolynhttp://www.vocalnews.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-17901930869700112192011-10-05T18:42:29.647-05:002011-10-05T18:42:29.647-05:00M and I like this.

I took Algebra I in eighth grade. It was optional, but they made everyone take a math test in sixth grade to determine what math level you should be at. In seventh, I took pre-algebra and eighth Algebra I. Was exempt from taking it again in hs. They wanted me to take Calculus my senior year, but I refused to go to all that trouble my last year of school right before college. I ended up taking a statistics course instead, which was fun. I don't remember much about it except that we got to eat m and m's. And that statistically there are more boys born than girls (by a small margin) but more girls survive than boys.<br /><br />My husband is the math wiz. Well he has a degree in physics and another one in planetary science so he uses a lot more math. I defer to him on all things math and science. He's terrible at writing/grammar. I guess that's my department?Deltaflutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00489950329698009256noreply@blogger.com
