The question I would have for your daughter is why does she hate math? Is it because it's hard, or she doesn't understand it? Or does she not see the use for it? It could also be the teacher... I was a math major in college, I had one class in college that I completely tanked on - -I talked the professor into giving me a withdraw passing (to save my GPA) the day before the final because I think I had on average a 35 in the class. I retook the class the next semester with a differnt professor and it all became clear... Not because I took it the second time, but because the second time it was taught differently, in a way that made sense to me.

Algerbra is the easiest of all the math levels.. it only gets harder and each year builds on the next year you migh want to ask her what she wants to do... and if she thinks she's ready to go on to the next level.
