Do we not have a LOF thread? I searched and didn't find anything. I think it would be great for mathy kids as it has very little repetition. Here's a review of LOF Beginning ALgebra. LOF review

DS is doing LOF fractions right now. He about half way through. And although he's breezing right through it, he's also enjoying it. It really is very funny, and I like the way math is explained....not just "here is the formula".

I have LOF Fractions and Decimals/Percents. DS8 has only done the first chapter of LOF...I'm saving it for summer I think.

OMG this is just what I've been looking for! Thanks Dazed&confused! My DD6 saw a homework show with algebra, after it she asked me "so Y is the unknown and that's what you need to figure out, right?" Can I learn how to do that? I showed her some fomulas but I'm not that great at math. I've been looking for a simple version, thanks again!

We ordered LOF Beginning Algebra for DS6. He is taking Pre-Algebra at school and it's by far and away the favorite part of his day. He is fascinated with having the ability to solve the unknown!

These look great! Do kids really need to know their multiplication tables to start these? My ds is really lazy about stuff like that, but likes conceptual math.

Bronxmom - it might give him the reason for learning those tables! I think for LOF Fractions, Stan recommends arithmetic through long division. I'm sure it's on his website some where.

Right, I saw that on his website, just wondering if he really needs to know it to understand the books. My son's about a million miles from long division, honestly.
Or is there anything else like this, but easier? I like the way it focuses on verbal reasoning.

I could take a look and see how far he can get into the book. I figure, we'll continue in the book as he gets to those ideas.
