11. I think it is a great idea for you to home school her
in algebra. You sound like a great parent.

Another thing that might be worth looking into is some sort of math class at a local community college over the summer. There is a CC near me that has great review courses in algebra and geometry. An eight week summer course might be just the thing. She need not take it for credit.

I took one of those classes one summer, because I wanted to be sure in my own mind that I was ready for college algebra. The review was great, and it left me more confident. That school also had a great learning resource center for any student who needed tutoring or help with homework.

I noticed that there were a few high school kids taking math classes over the summer, too. They were taking them for credit, and to advance themselves in their math sequences at the high school level.

You sound like you are skilled enough that you may not need help or advice. But it is out there for parents who do want the help.
