My 11 year old son is completing their pre-calc book.
We started him at the 4th grade level when he was 6 years old (I gave him a head start in the basics). These books have no fancy drawings, no color,no photos of Nelson Mendela, nothing but brilliant problems. Their "Algebra 1/2" book is simply the best pre-algebra book ever published, bar none. Complete that book and the rest of math education is a walk in the park. Unfortunately they eventually do use calculators, at the Algebra 2 level.
It's like time travel with this series. Saxon simply blew off every brilliant theory that the 'experts' came up with since the 50s. This is back to basics and it is the best. It is extremely popular with homeschoolers.
My son goes to a Christian school, but we treat his math classes there as simply babysitting (making sure to tell him to behave and not act bored). We do Saxon at home, and that's all that's needed.
Best of luck.
The best types of math textbooks are the ones without pictures and drawings. For some reason today's "educators" seem to think that a child can't learn anything without a colorful picture to illustrate the lesson. There is no way to illustrate mathematics. The illustrations just wind up being confusing and distracting students from what they are supposed to be learning.
And besides, I highly doubt that Isaac Newton learned from a text that was full of colorful pictures.
Second the "Saxon" reccommendation. I got up through Advanced Mathematics and was ready for pre-calc and then calc 1 at 15.
There does come a point, and I think Algebra 2 is it, where a calculator becomes a good tool. By then you know math. Yes, learn to do sine and cosine on paper, but then use a calculator, it's faster.
