Thanks, all. I will definitely get the word problems (DS's weaker spot, if there is one). And shoot for the textbooks first, hoping that there are enough practice problems in there to keep DS happy. And save the workbooks for a later shopping "trip" should that become necessary. Does that sound like I have it right?
Does Singapore start geometric constructions in level 7? I'm looking for something that is like what I did in grade 7, and what DS is doing in ALEKS level 6 and 7-- but on paper instead of on screen. It's hard for me to tell what the level of the Rightstart geometry materials is... and I'd hate to make a mistake at that price.
Kimck, what did you choose for pre-algebra? It won't be long for us, even if we review through Singapore 5-6 this year.
DS has Life of Fred: Fractions and didn't care for it. The ratio of words to math was too high. I thought it was hilarious, though, and a more patient kid would probably love it.
Keep those thoughts coming-- I appreciate them.
