Denison Algebra

Denison Algebra transforms math-anxious middle and high school students through its confidence-building video approach where instructor David Denison explains each concept slowly and thoroughly in short lessons, making it particularly effective for students who've struggled with previous math curricula or need extra processing time. This hybrid program combines physical textbooks with online instruction across Pre-Algebra through Advanced Algebra & Trigonometry, offering both standard college-prep courses and Success courses specifically designed for students with learning challenges like dyscalculia, ADHD, or processing difficulties. Each course pairs consumable workbooks with video lessons where students take guided notes directly in their textbook while Mr. Denison teaches, eliminating frustration from copying errors and keeping materials organized. The standard courses require minimal parent involvement since every homework and test problem includes solution videos that function as mini-tutoring sessions, allowing independent middle and high school learners to work through struggles on their own while parents focus on keeping students on pace and grading tests. The Success series offers modified versions with shorter videos and assignments covering about seventy percent of typical course content, designed specifically for students who need math broken into smaller, more manageable pieces with extensive built-in review. Parents appreciate the gentle pacing and encouraging teaching style that rebuilds math confidence, though families with mathematically gifted or STEM-focused students may find the standard courses lack the rigor of honors-level programs. The two-test format for each chapter allows students to review and retest if needed, promoting mastery over speed. Consider viewing sample lessons to determine if the deliberate, supportive pace matches your student's learning needs, and evaluate whether the standard or Success track better fits your child's processing abilities.
