I've posted before that the same Elementary Problem Solving I and II courses available from JHU CTY for $640/3 months are available directly from the software company. Finally found the link: http://hmlt.hmco.com/DM-EM.php and the email:

Hello, bargain shoppers!

ps - Hi, Ania - I know you'll stop by for a math post!

Hi, Dottie,

They say that Destination Math is k-12 on the website. I just know that DS8 enjoyed the animated colorful Elementary Problem Solving I course and wants to take #2 instead of EPGY Accelerated Grade 4 math. I would guess that the algebra courses are what CTY uses also, as I've read that the algebra courses are "better" at CTY than EPGY. That probably means more engaging. But I have no clue.

That said, we need to decide on what to use for 4th grade math. Probably Singapore Math and Hey Math! combined. (I have to update that post, too - they do have accelerated math available) I realized it was a mistake to allow DS to do math exclusively on the computer. He needs to write, too.

Here's the link to the page with the gr 6-8 and 9-12 math:

Thanks, questions. My dd enjoyed problem solving I and II from JHU CTY. She loves Digit.

I will definitely look into the 6-8 and 9-12 math link.

By the way, my dd really loved the Life of Fred books for fractions, decimals and percentages. Someone else recommended them on this forum and we got them. The best books ever.

Thanks, Bianca. My guy enjoys all the books like that. We'll add it to our collection.

I am so predictable, ha?

I have since read that CTY uses Thinkwell for algebra, but I have no first hand information so ignore it all and do your own investigation. The elementary problem solving courses do look identical to the ones at CTY. Sorry for misinformation.

Just got an email that this course will be available from www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.com.

Here's the link for the free demo: http://web.riverdeep.net/portal/page?_pageid=818,1381724,818_1381770&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

Looks like the same price $59, but the co-op will offer 40% off on the second course.

I'll check to make sure it is the same course as CTY. Don't know for sure.

Destination Math Course II is Elementary Problem Solving I from CTY.

Thank you questions! Additional savings would be wonderful. I haven't seen the demos yet but if I like it I may get one for DS4 and one for DS5.

If I understand it correctly it's not yet available from the co-op. Any idea how long it will take before it becomes available for purchase?
