Working within the Textbook

I still hear an audible "yes!" when the students realize they have online homework.

In my class we are focusing on using Khan content when it fits with our Saxon math book. Saxon breaks down the content so incrementally that a lot of the times the videos and exercises on Khan are too advanced for what we are teaching the students. This is why I am only able to find lessons that fully fit, every once in a while. I am able to find topics that partially fit about once to twice a week, and some weeks I am not able to find ones that fit at all. That being said, when I am able to use this method, my students seem more engaged in the math lesson and seem to grasp the concepts more fully.

I was elated the other day when a parent came up to me and told me, "Khan has made it so that my son is excited about math. Before this year, he was doing only what was required of him in math. I was wondering what he was doing on the computer one evening and when I saw it was math I was excited."
