Oldest signed up for FLVS. Our state provides free online course and the credits count as regular high school credit. Each course has a certified teacher. You sign up to start any month and take as many or as few classes as you like. Pretty nifty if you ask me.
Oldest is in Precalculus. When I looked online at what it covered, she had only done about 1/2 of what they cover. What we covered this year was what could typically be covered in a college Precalculus course, but the state of Florida adds in all sorts of the other stuff she's never seen: sequences and series, vectors, polar coordinates and limits. I'm pretty sure we covered that in Calculus when I went through and I know we didn't cover it when I taught Precalc. Anyway, she opted to retake part of it so she could get used to the format and catch up on the stuff she hasn't seen before moving on.
The first test was a little hairy. I think I need to help her learn how to study. We've done a few reviews and tests, but it's not the same as taking a REAL timed test for a grade, I think. She's got a mid-B average overall so I'm happy with her progress, though I'm sure she's frustrated by not having a 99% like she did in her previous class!
Our life with a little bit of everything from homeschooling projects, fun stuff like robotics and pets to all my crazy little projects.
