Thinkwell's Honors Algebra 1 with Professor Edward Burger

Thinkwell's Honors Algebra 1 has the same format as the standard Thinkwell Algebra 1 course: online videos and automatic grading teach algebra the way today's students want to learn it: videos, not a textbook.  However, Honors Algebra 1 covers a wider scope of topics preparing students for more advanced mathematics.  Here's a comparison of the two courses.

Students enjoy our online video lessons with award-winning mathematician Edward Burger; he's smart and funny, and his multimedia lessons work with any learning style. It's like having your own world-class University Professor at your side. His step-by-step lessons focus on examples, problems, and real-world applications, which makes learning algebra fun and easy.

Also available are the optional Printed Notes, Worksheets, and Quizzes from the Online Subscription, and all are printed in color, on-the-go format. Using Thinkwell for summer learning? Download our Summer Learning Lesson Plan for Algebra 1.

What Parents Are Saying . . .
"We moved to Thinkwell math this year for my older children and we are delighted by the results. We have been able to re-engage them in math and really spur their problem-solving skills. The teaching videos are fun and informative, and our children have become self starters (and more importantly-finishers!) of their math lessons. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
– M. Hasapopoulos
"Our twins are considered to be "twice exceptional'. Since they are visual learners, they love the math videos with Professor Burger, for his fantastic sense of humor and detailed math explanations. Thus far we have used algebra 1 and 2, geometry and will soon begin trigonometry. I'm proud to say that our twins recently aced all math placement tests at a community college,but want to continue using Thinkwell even if they decide to take a math class at the community college! Prior to Thinkwell, we tried using another video based math program, but the presentation, although detailed, was dry and boring. I've shared our experience with others and highly recommend it to students who are motivated, love humor, and especially to those who have difficulties with textbook learning. This product, is by far, our all time favorite!”
– M. Jackson
"Thinkwell has been a real blessing with advanced math in our family. The students and I both appreciated that the lessons and tests are graded immediately. With the lessons the student gets immediate feedback and an explanation on the problems they missed so they can learn right away and not make the same mistake again. I appreciate that they can do their math on any computer anywhere so when we are visiting relatives they can still be consistent. We once had some technical issue and the tech support was very friendly, helpful and got things resolved right away. We've done at least five courses with Thinkwell.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Thinkwell's Honors Algebra 1

How do Thinkwell courses work?

Your student watches a 5-10 minute online video lesson, completes the automatically graded exercises for the topic with instant correct-answer feedback, then move on to the next lesson! The courses are self-paced, or you can use the daily lesson plans. Just like a textbook, you can choose where to start and end, or follow the entire course.

When does my 12-month online subscription start?

It starts when you're ready. You can have instant access to your online subscription when you purchase online, or you can purchase now and start later.

How is Thinkwell Honors Algebra 1 different from the standard Algebra 1 course?

There is a slight variation in the table of contents compared to the standard Algebra 1 course and the exercises reflect more in depth learning.

Does Thinkwell Honors Algebra 1 meet state standards?

Some states set standards for what topics should be taught in a particular course. Thinkwell does not have a course version for each state. Instead, the course is built to national standards to be inclusive of all states. Websites such as www.achieve.org can help you determine your state's standards.

What if my student needs access to the course for more than 12 months?

You can purchase extra time in one-month, three-month, and six-month increments.

Can I share access with more than one student?

The courses are designed and licensed to accommodate one student per username and password; additional students need to purchase online access. This allows parents to keep track of each student's progress and grades.

How long does it take to complete Thinkwell's Honors Algebra 1?

The pace of your course is up to you, but most students will schedule one school year.

Can I see my grade?

Thinkwell courses track everything your student does. When logged in, your student can click "My Grades" to see their progress.

How are grades calculated?

The course grade is calculated this way: Quizzes are worth 30% of the grade, Chapter tests are worth 30%, the Midterm counts for 20%, and the Final Exam is worth 20% of the overall grade.

What is acceptable performance on the exams?

As a home-school parent, you decide the level of performance you want your student to achieve; the course does not limit access to topics based on performance on prior topics.

Can I get a transcript?

You can contact techsupport@thinkwell.com to request a file with your student's grades.

What if I change my mind and want to do a different math course, can I change?

If you discover that you should be in a different course, contact techsupport@thinkwell.com within one week of purchase and we will move you to the appropriate course.

Can I print the exercises?

Yes, but completing the exercises online provides immediate correct answer feedback and automatic scoring, so we recommend answering the exercises online.

Are exercises multiple choice?
