Good morning, Mamas! ❤ I hope you enjoy today's video! I know math (especially higher levels) can be such a tricky subject to navigate in our homeschools, so I pray this video helped encourage you!
Hello! Have you found any reviews for those families that have used this for college bound students? I don't know why, but I have other moms trying to convince me that this isn't enough for my college bound daughters who plan to go into a science field (biology for undergrad and then on to veterinary medicine). They said it may be enough for non-STEM degree students. Other than the Denison website, I haven't seen true reviews about how well this prepares a student for college math or even college entrance exams.
We recently switched to Denison math and it was a HUGE game-changer! My daughter absolutely loves it. She is also doing Pre-Algebra. So grateful to have found it.
My daughter doesn't really struggle with math, but she's pretty indifferent towards it. She's loving the Algebra 1 course! It has been so nice for us to be able to finish math during the day, and not having to wait on dad for a few problems every night🙂
This was incredibly helpful as I hunt for a new math program for my upcoming seventh grade daughter. TT is no longer working for us. Denison looks very promising!! Thank you!
Love this!! My daughter sounds like your daughter and she LOVES teaching textbooks, but only bc of the video and "desk pet" (shes 5th grade) but I've heard there are gaps in TT so I thought abt switching to Saxon with video, but now ill have to look into this! She NEEDS the video aspect for sure and I love that they have the "cheat sheats" which will be gold for her!
I just got the pre-algebra in the mail a couple days ago! I’m so excited for my 8th grader to use it! We are starting it Monday! My son does pretty well in Math but I liked how Denison had online videos but still had book work as well. Having him actually working the problems is what made me buy this.
Thanks so much for this in-depth review & flip through!! I am going to give this a try for my 8th grader. We did math-u-see pre algebra last year & tried their algebra 1 this year and it was a disaster…I tried switching to the Critical Thinking Co Pre-Algebra; got through a few lessons and having issues yet again! So I love that Denison has instructional videos, cheat sheets, and what seem to be great practice with the concepts/skills in the workbook!
Good to see, our kids are not in this grade level yet but I know how time travels so fast and it will be here before you know it. When my kids struggled with math my kids got up tp speed with Mathnasium
Thank you for this video. Would love more videos as you guys go along. Even on the next level once you get there too would be amazing! FYI: After going through their website, the “Advanced Algebra & Trig” course is NOT Pre-Calculus. They state that on there; they say it is more like a course to prepare students for Pre-Calc or an Algebra 3 course.
Thanks SO much for this!! I have a question, what was the last Saxon math level that your daughter completed?? I always thought pre-Algebra was supposed to be done in 8th grade 🤔
Schools typically allow advanced students to do pre algebra in 7th or 8th grade. Students struggling with math can do it in 9th grade and then still complete the 3 years worth to graduate (that is what is needed for public school students in my state).
The school I attended growing up did pre-algebra in 7th grade. I figured we have a good window to get a grasp on algebraic concepts going into high school! 😊
I used to teach middle school and high school math. Most of middle school math is “pre-algebra”, so many students learning from home are ready for a formal pre-algebra curriculum around 7th grade, which allows them to take algebra in 8th grade and get to calculus by 12th grade. This would be considered an “honors” sequence in most traditional schools.
Is Denison math only for kids who struggle with math? I am a couple years off yet but my radar is definitely up for what to use when my kids get older. My oldest are using Apologia which we absolutely love, but from what I understand they are only releasing up to grade 6. Will be watching for more videos on this! Thanks for sharing! ❤
@@OneBlessedMess thanks for the response! My oldest are twins and my son does fairly well but it’s def not a favorite subject with my daughter even though I don’t know that I’d even say she struggles with it.
I'm going to have to look into this with my son. Considering we started math today, also pre algebra, but with teaching textbooks, and it ended in tears. He said he wanted to do it again this year. I really wish I had done the free trial of TT, so I could have switched. 😢
Honestly, after watching your video and several others the last few hours, and showing my son, I think I'm going to take the leap and just switch him. I'd rather pay more money and have him start to have confidence in his math skills! Thanks for the thorough video! 🥰
My daughter is similar to yours in math (hates it, not her strong subject and complains) but I forced her to use Abeka until 6th grade (we switched a lot when she was in 1st/2nd). She is now on her second year of TT. I feel like switching math curriculum every year would cause more stress to my daughter (because each one is layed out differently and has different scopes and sequences). I don’t want gaps and TT does cover everything needed if my girl keeps with it (her National test was good this spring too!). Just want you to know it’s okay to force your daughter to stick with something, even if it’s hard and not fun… we all have to do things we don’t enjoy because that is life and adult hood 😅
I definitely think there are certain things to stick out just because that's life for sure! But for us, I know math is a sore subject for my daughter, and it makes the learning environment more enjoyable and helps create the homeschool I want by finding good 'fits' for each of my kids. It's one of the beautiful things about homeschooling! 💗
@@OneBlessedMessoh really?! My daughter just did Saxon 7/6 for 6th grade (and is almost done since she didn’t finish it yet). So she totally could do this pre-algebra then 😮
I would love to see mid-year and end-of-year updates. Thank you for this video. I found it very helpful!

We're using Denison for my 9th grader this year, and so far it's going great!
Would love to see an end of the year review on this!

That is so awesome to hear! 💗
My older two LOVE Denison, it has been so so good for them this year
It is such a fantastic program!
I’m SO glad you shared this. I think we are going to use this for my incoming 7th grader.

It really helps bring together some of the best things of the various math curricula out there! 💗

It really has been such a godsend for us! I pray it is a blessing to you, too!
@@OneBlessedMess Thank you! ☺️

Yes!! It's so good to look ahead at what they may use in the future for sure!
There is hope!!! Thank you for video❤ and thank you for your channel
How has it been going?! I’m so excited to hear! ❤ wanting to switch my daughter to it next year when she starts 7th 😊
It has been a gamechanger for us!!!! 100000% recommend!
I just ordered this yesterday. We cannot wait for it to come :-)
Yay!!! Praying it's a blessing to you!

How did the rest of Denison Pre-Algebra go? I would love to know!
Can't wait to see how this works for you!
Thank you! Can anyone give an opinion about Denison vs Shormann? Thank you

Ha! My daughter is Kailyn and hates Saxon as well. We are struggling with Teaching textbooks and I think I’m going to weigh to Denison
What's your thoughts on Denison math now? Will you continue it for the upcoming school year?
Is Denison math only for kids who struggle with math? I am a couple years off yet but my radar is definitely up for what to use when my kids get older. My oldest are using Apologia which we absolutely love, but from what I understand they are only releasing up to grade 6. Will be watching for more videos on this! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Definitely not just for kids who struggle! It just takes a different approach for those who do 💗
@@OneBlessedMess thanks for the response! My oldest are twins and my son does fairly well but it’s def not a favorite subject with my daughter even though I don’t know that I’d even say she struggles with it.
We love Denison ❤️
SO good to hear!!! 💗

Aww I'm sorry, Mama! That is the worst feeling! 😭💗

@@heatherzaidel9366 that's wonderful!!! I'm praying it's a blessing for you both!
Update! Teaching textbooks was actually able to refund me since we're in the first month of my activation date. Thank you, Lord!
@@heatherzaidel9366 that is AWESOME news!!!
Question on mastering multiplication… what did you do for that??
Do you have an update? I’m 90% sure I’m going with Denison for 24-25 for my 7th Grader
It has been SPECTACULAR! NO regrets, and math has been no-stress this year for my 7th grader!
This is awesome! How long are the video lessons??
I'd say around 10-15 mins or so!
This was helpful thank you!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this!
My daughter is similar to yours in math (hates it, not her strong subject and complains) but I forced her to use Abeka until 6th grade (we switched a lot when she was in 1st/2nd).

Love this❤❤
Thank you for sharing this! Do you have any updates on how it's going?
AMAZING!!! Hands down the best curriculum switch we have ever made!
Also, on average how long does it take your daughter to complete her assignment each day? Thanks!
@@LivingFreelyGlutenFree I'd say between the video lesson and practice problems around 30 mins each day!
Thank you for this! My son is in 6th grade and doing Saxon 7/6. Do you think a student that completed 7/6 would be prepared for Denison prealgebra?
Yes! All they need to know are their multiplication facts to use the course 💗
Updates on how this math is going? Still working?
It is FANTASTIC!!! My favorite curriculum of the year by far!
Can you offer advice/differences between this and Shormann? Thank you
What math level did she do before she started this?
She completed Saxon 6/5 before this!
@@OneBlessedMessoh really?! My daughter just did Saxon 7/6 for 6th grade (and is almost done since she didn’t finish it yet). So she totally could do this pre-algebra then 😮
How long are the videos? How many lessons are their total?
Hi Megan! Lessons range anywhere from 10-15 mins or so, and there are 15 chapters with around 8 lessons each + a pretest and test!
Update?
hi, I bought learn math fast system!!
Is this the Success curriculum or the "regular?"
Pre-Algebra doesn't have a regular or success! Those don't start until Algebra 😊
Did you ever try math u see?
We haven't, no!
Do you still like Denison math?
How has Dension been since you posted this ?
It has been fantastic!
