The explanation on the Teaching Textbooks website is understandable. They recommend doing Algebra II right after Algebra I, and say that in most schools Geometry follows Algebra I because Geometry is included in the PSAT.

I don't think that the PSAT is going to be a factor for us.

What have you done or what would you do?

Not a huge deal, just wondering before I place an order.

Thanks!

We followed Alg I with Alg II and then Geometry. Just made more sense to us to do it that way.
(ETA: we used MUS, not Teaching Textbooks, if that makes any difference)

I loved TT! It made high school math so much easier to handle. My dd who is good in math did not do well with MUS Algebra 2 but liked TT. I did not find MUS as understandable for me to teach either. She did Alg 1 in 8thgr at Catholic School, then Alg 2 at home in 9th because her sister was needing to do it. Then she did TT Geometry in 10thgr on her own. It worked very well.

Thanks, Theresa and Adele.

I think we'll go with Algebra II and then Geometry.
