<p>My son is a HS Soph and needs to review some basic mathematics, Algebra I and geometry this summer. Can anyone recommend any textbooks, programs, etc? I was looking at starting with a Developmental Mathematics course at local comm. college or just buying the text so he can teach himself at his own pace. Then he would still need to review algebra and geometry.</p>
<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!!</p>

<p>The books from Art of Problem Solving website are great for self teaching. They have Alg I, II, or III, and Geometry (as well as many others). They’re very in depth - not exactly a quick brush up to pass a test, but if a student really wants to learn it, they’re great.</p>

<p>K-University math materials online.</p>
<p>I like Harold Jacobs’ books for Algebra I and Geometry. Very old-school but pretty thorough. They don’t cover the modern technology stuff if you’re looking for that.</p>
<p>If the SAT and ACT are the exams you are worried about, a book that provides the tests and explanations for the answers might be the most appropriate. The SAT, in particular, is its own animal, and learning their questions is often my helpful with eventual scores than learning the math.</p>
<p>If he wants to brush up on the math for subsequent math courses or general knowledge that is a horse of a different color, and I believe other posters are addressing those circumstances.</p>
<p>BCEagle91, what is K-University? The University of Kansas? Could you provide a link to a website, please?</p>
<p>It’s a UK site. I don’t know anything about the organizatio but we’ve used their materials in the past for homeschooling. It’s the biggest organized free library of curricular materials that I’ve found on the web.</p>
