Easy Grammar Ultimate Grade 8 Teacher's Guide The Easy Grammar Ultimate series is explicitly designed to introduce and teach essential grammar concepts to older students, regardless of their previous grammar background. In just ten to fifteen minutes a day, your child will be functioning at his grade level and be competent to undertake any state or college prep tests. As a bonus, as your child practices his grammar skills, he will also be learning age-appropriate history, science, literature, geography, and so much more. This series contains 180 daily teaching lessons. Each lesson covers capitalization, punctuation, sentence combining, grammar, and more. The Easy Grammar Teacher's Manuals are reproducible for non-commercial student use. An answer key is included in the back. You can order workbooks if you don't want to copy the pages out of the Teacher's Manual. However, we are strong proponents of independent study. So we would recommend that each child receives a Teacher's Manual instead of a student workbook. He can read the teaching instructions, do the worksheets, and correct his own work. This option does not work if you have a couple of children who need the same level book. In that case, photocopying the worksheets from the Teacher's Manual or using the workbooks (which may not be photocopied) may be more cost-effective. About Easy Grammar Most children dread grammar study because it is too complex. But Easy Grammar is just that, easy. What sets Easy Grammar apart is the memorization of prepositions. This is the first step because once the student can identify and eliminate the prepositional phrases in a sentence, then determining the subject, verb, and other parts of speech is much easier. If you lack an adequate grammar background and find even the preceding sentence intimidating, relax. The hardest part will be memorizing the prepositions. After that, everything falls into place. Easy Grammar employs a virtually "hands-on" approach by deleting and marking certain words or phrases. The vocabulary has been kept simple, and, in most cases, the sentences are relatively short. Though it is not required, most customers complete Easy Grammar Plus before they begin the Easy Grammar Ultimate series.

Easy Grammar Ultimate Grade 8 Teacher's Guide

Mosdos Press Gold Gold, the eighth-grade textbook, offers increasingly complex literature and a curriculum that prepares your student for high school. The lessons emphasize discussion and hone in on cultivating critical reasoning skills. Themes promote thinking and discussion about values, ideals, and behavior. The expanded poetry unit shows your students the joys of poetry and the satisfaction of understanding its complexity! The Gold set consists of the Student Reader, Student Activity Workbook, and two-part Teacher’s Edition. The extra student pack includes only the Student Reader and the Student Activity Workbook. Gold includes: 26 short stories a novella 23 poems A play 9 nonfiction essays A complete novel Brief author biographies About Mosdos Literature Literature cannot be neutral but will clash or harmonize with your family’s values. Mosdos Literature is a complete literature program that does not glamorize evil nor present subject matter that is not age-appropriate. It never portrays a cynical disregard for positive values as normal, but it reinforces the universal ideals of courage, honesty, loyalty, and compassion. Nearly 2 decades ago, Mosdos Press launched a unique literature series that would teach all necessary language arts skills through a curriculum that promotes traditional values. Readings are from both classic and contemporary works that are wholesome and stress caring for others and a concern for the natural world. Student Reader Mosdos Literature begins with the Student Reader, which is beautifully illustrated using many full-color photographs, color drawings, and black-and-white pictures. From the beginning, Mosdos committed to collecting for the Student Readers only the most engaging, morally rich, and intellectually challenging selections of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, the novella, and for the older grades, novels. There is an introduction to every story in the Student Reader and an explanation of some facet of literature. That literary focus can include defining character, theme, internal and external conflicts, setting, climax, foreshadowing, and more. This academic component is developed and illuminated through the stories. Vocabulary words that might be unfamiliar are presented in boxes on the pages where the word first appears in the account. The stories are followed not just by the classic review questions designed to assess reading comprehension but also by more complex questions that require thoughtful analysis. Every unit concludes with activities such as writing a short skit, doing a craft, or memorizing a poem. Pick the ones that best suit your child; there are far too many to do them all. Student Activity Workbook Next is the consumable and engaging Student Activity Workbook that works to expand the value of the Mosdos curriculum. For nearly every story in the Student Reader, the Student Activity Workbook contains corresponding vocabulary, creative writing, or comprehension questions. It also provides extended reinforcement of the literary elements being taught. These assignments help you evaluate areas of progress in your child and concepts that might require additional work. The literature, vocabulary, and writing components all tie together, giving your child a chance to truly understand what was taught by approaching it in various ways. Student Activity Workbooks vary by grade levels. There are more word games and puzzles for vocabulary practice, activities that focus on various language arts skills, and brief composition work for younger grades. In older grades, the puzzles and games gradually decrease while the number of writing assignments increases. Teacher’s Edition Each Teacher’s Edition is detailed and well-organized. The Teacher’s Edition will make lively discussions with your child possible through great commentary plus questions and answers. Homeschooling parents will appreciate that Mosdos Press did not assume any level of expertise or teaching degree when preparing their Teacher Editions. So whether new or experienced, anyone can teach literature. Each page of the Student Reader is duplicated at a smaller size in the Teacher’s Edition, still abundantly easy to read. Information is arranged in the ample margins around these replicated pages, discussing the literary components found in each story with clear, concise explanations. Of course, the Teacher’s Guide also includes the answers for the Student Activity Workbook. This makes teaching a lot easier for every homeschool parent. Mosdos Press is the ideal literature curriculum for any family who wants an excellent academic program that encourages wholesome values without any religious content. The thought-provoking selections are colorful and engaging, and while not religious, they still reflect sound principles. Features Download PDF Student Edition Sample.

I really enjoy the variety of reading passages in this program. I think it is very important for students to explore all kinds of writing, but I am not always good at finding a good mix on my own.” Read the Review

Graphic Shakespeare On the fence over the need to study Shakespeare? Shakespeare's plays are pictures of humanity both at its very worst and its very best, delving into issues of romance, deceit, tragedy, and revenge. And then there is the language - difficult for an adult to understand, let alone a child. But Shakespeare is a literary icon; references to his works are everywhere, from advertising to sermons. We do our children a disservice if we ignore his impact. Graphic Shakespeare is the more accessible, sanitized way to expose your child to 4 of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies and 1 of his most popular comedies. Full-color artwork brings the scenes to life while speech bubbles present key excerpts from Shakespeare's original dialogue. Graphic Shakespeare adds captions in modern English to make the stories easier to follow. A glossary at the foot of each page helps with any challenging vocabulary. Suppose you have a child who groans at the thought of reading Shakespeare. In that case, you may find a whole different attitude when you present your child with these illustrated versions of Shakespeare's works. ﻿While these plays are condensed, Graphic Shakespeare has retained enough key phrases and quotations from the originals that your child will have more than a nodding acquaintance with each celebrated play. The five plays include: Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

According to national standards, students in grades four to twelve must now be able to demonstrate their knowledge of how to use common Greek and Latin roots for analyzing the meaning of complex words. Lovely! Isn't this just what we needed, one more requirement from the government that our children will be tested for yearly? Yet surprisingly enough, it makes sense. Children who have a solid grasp of word roots are bound to be children with better reading comprehension skills, primarily because they have learned to decode words. But regardless of the benefit, you're probably not looking for another task. In that case, you will appreciate the Word Roots series. It will teach your children the meanings of Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes of words commonly used in English. Because the pages are reproducible, the entire family can be prepared for any assessment tests their state throws at them. Word Roots teaches children the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes commonly used in English. Learning word elements will dramatically improve spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words. Word Roots will add hundreds of words to your child's vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing. Includes pretest/posttest, lesson reviews, teaching suggestions, and a dictionary of the prefixes, roots, suffixes, and vocabulary words derived from Latin and/or Greek word elements.

Word Roots Level 2

Math-U-See Algebra 1 is typically a good fit for a student entering eighth grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Algebra 1 Math-U-See Algebra 1 teaches all basic algebra concepts. These include basic properties, solving equations (including simultaneous equations), coin problems, exponents and square roots, scientific notation, unit multipliers, and metric conversions. Graphing lines are taught in detail, and graphing conic sections are introduced. Operations with polynomials are demonstrated with place-value blocks for conceptual understanding before being taught conventionally. About Math-U-See Curriculum For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program. This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives. Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones. The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts. Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player. Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See. Note: Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our warehouse crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught In The Algebra 1 Level? Commutative and Associative Properties Order of Operations Solving for an Unknown with One Variable Distributive Property Cartesian Coordinates Graphing a Line Slope-Intercept Formula Graphing Parallel Lines and the Equation of a Line Graphing Perpendicular Lines Finding the Slope-Intercept Formula with Different Givens --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In What Order Do I Use the Math-U-See Levels? There are seven books for elementary grades which can be used in the following order: Primer, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta. These first seven books are followed by Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus with Trigonometry, and Calculus. Placement tests for the different levels are available here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Do I Choose Which Curriculum Set I Need? Algebra 1 Universal Set The Math-U-See Algebra 1 Universal Set includes everything a new customer needs to be successful with Math-U-See Algebra 1. The Instruction Pack, Student Pack, Integer Block Kit, Algebra/Decimal Inserts, and the Algebra 1 Digital Pack are conveniently bundled so customers can be certain they have all of the items they need. Algebra 1 Level Up Set The Algebra 1 Level Up Set is geared toward families who already own the Integer Block Kit and simply need the Algebra/Decimal Inserts. If you are looking for a complete set, minus the massive manipulative set, this is what you want. In addition to the Instruction Pack, Student Pack, and the Algebra/Decimal Inserts, the Algebra 1 Level Up Set also includes the Algebra 1 Digital Pack with access to streaming instruction videos, instructional PDFs, and all the other online resources for the Algebra 1 level in one convenient location.Algebra 1 Level Up Base Sets The Algebra 1 Level Up Base Set includes the Instruction Pack, Student Pack, and 12 months of access to the Algebra 1 Digital Pack. The Algebra 1 Level Up Base Set is the right choice for families who already own both the Integer Block Kit and the Algebra/Decimal Inserts, or who are purchasing them as part of another Math-U-See Universal Set. Algebra 1 Student Pack This is the right choice for families who have more than one student in the Algebra 1 level and who need a second workbook, or for families who have previously used Algebra 1 for one student and already own both the Integer Block Kit, Algebra/Decimal Inserts and the Instruction Pack.

Math-U-See Algebra 1 is typically a good fit for a student entering eighth grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the <a href="https://timberdoodle.mathusee.com/" target="new">placement test here</a>. <meta content="uuidtM0x5zZV7qlh" name="uuid"><meta charset="utf-8">
Algebra 1
Math-U-See Algebra 1 teaches all basic algebra concepts. These include basic properties, solving equations (including simultaneous equations), coin problems, exponents and square roots, scientific notation, unit multipliers, and metric conversions. Graphing lines are taught in detail, and graphing conic sections are introduced. Operations with polynomials are demonstrated with place-value blocks for conceptual understanding before being taught conventionally.
 
About Math-U-See Curriculum
For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. 
 
Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program.
 
This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. 
 
Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. 
 
The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives.
 
Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. 
 
Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. 
 
Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. 
 
Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones.
 
The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts.
 
Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. 
 
Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. 
 
Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player.
 
Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. 
 
Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See.
 
Note: Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our warehouse crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition.

Asteroid Escape

Kloak This artful combination of hide-and-seek and tic-tac-toe will have you and your opponent scrambling to remember where each colorful peg is hidden. The first to align two sets of the same color wins! In Kloak, you have three choices when it comes to moving. Either slide one of the small colorful pegs to an adjacent open space, lift a kloak and place it on an adjoining peg or free area, or slide the kloak and its mystery peg to a nearby space. If you think there are three pegs of the same color in a row, unkloak them and see if you are right. If that sounds daunting, Kloak has a more accessible adaptation and versions for three participants or two teams. Play this beautiful all-wood strategy game to improve your student’s memory and cause-and-effect thinking. Kloak is recommended for ages 8+ and includes all hardwood components.

Kloak
This artful combination of hide-and-seek and tic-tac-toe will have you and your opponent scrambling to remember where each colorful peg is hidden. The first to align two sets of the same color wins!
 
In Kloak, you have three choices when it comes to moving. Either slide one of the small colorful pegs to an adjacent open space, lift a kloak and place it on an adjoining peg or free area, or slide the kloak and its mystery peg to a nearby space. If you think there are three pegs of the same color in a row, unkloak them and see if you are right. If that sounds daunting, Kloak has a more accessible adaptation and versions for three participants or two teams.
 
Play this beautiful all-wood strategy game to improve your student’s memory and cause-and-effect thinking. Kloak is recommended for ages 8+ and includes all hardwood components.

The Mystery of History: Volume II The Mystery of History: Vol II, 2nd Edition provides a historically-accurate, Bible-centered approach to learning about the Early Church and the Middle Ages from Pentecost to the printing press! The completely chronological lessons span the continents to shed new light on who walked the earth when God revealed Himself to mankind during this pivotal period of history. Combines Biblical & Secular History As they read the Bible, Christians tend to forget that other civilizations were warring, struggling, and searching for truth. Therefore, this history program is written with combined Biblical and secular history. While decidedly Christian in bent, other cultures and faiths are presented with deference. The Mystery of History: Vol II is written in a conversational style for elementary through high school students. But it can also be used as a read-aloud with younger children. Multi-Age Activities Not just a textbook, Volume II includes a digital (as a download code) Companion Guide. This Companion Guide is brimming with multi-age activities, hands-on activities, and research projects for younger, middle, and older students. It also includes memory card ideas, bi-weekly quizzes, exercises, timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists, etc. This option is particularly beneficial for families with younger students in elementary and middle grades. 84 Lessons The user-friendly format presents three lessons per week with hands-on activities, quizzes, tests, a weekly timeline, mapping assignments, and supplemental reading and resource list. Written for 4th- to 5th-grade reading level for independent reading. However, as a read-aloud, family study, or classroom program, The Mystery of History can accommodate grades 1-12. Is your family ready to study history in an in-depth, Bible-centered, chronological fashion? Then The Mystery of History is for you. Volume I is not a prerequisite but is highly recommended. From the Publisher: Volume II, in the words of the author: The Mystery of History Volume II (AD 30 – 1456) picks up where the story of Volume I leaves off – at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the first lesson I address Acts 1:8 with the promise of the Father to send the Holy Spirit. It is called the Day of Pentecost. From there, the history of the Early Church really begins. It is not an easy history to digest. It was amid trials, persecution, and martyrdom that the magnificent story of Jesus Christ spread. In Volume II, I expand on the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Dark Ages that followed. This text delves into... the chivalry of knights and damsels, kings and queens, and the peasants who faithfully served them Vikings and villains; castles and crusades; and the poetry of Dante and Chaucer the life of Mohammed and the spread of Islam the rise and fall of dynasties in Japan and China the Coptic (Egyptian) Church and Great Zimbabwe in the south the rituals of the Aztecs and the gold of the Incas in Peru the peoples of New Zealand and Greenland, on opposite ends of the earth, as they emerge into our view of world history. All along the way, Volume II of The Mystery of History pauses to hear the voice of God as He speaks through missionaries like Columba, St. Patrick, and Cyril. Students will learn of the struggles within the Medieval church as it grows, expands, and threatens the authority of emperors and kings. I ended this volume with the tragic death of Joan of Arc, the fall of Constantinople, and the invention of the printing press that helps spread the Word of God across Europe. You won’t find these significant and amazing stories packaged together just anywhere. I’ve done the research for you so that you and your students are free to absorb this history and explore the untold mysteries in between. Features The new edition offers 3 major improvements: For durability: the book is now a hardback — matching the popular layout of The Mystery of History Volumes I, III, and IV. For interest: more than 400 beautiful color images and dozens of colorful maps were added — handpicked by the author to be edifying and historically accurate. (Hundreds of fact-filled captions are included!) For convenience: the book contains a download code to access a 500+ page digital Companion Guide containing pretests; activities for younger, middle, and older students; timeline directions; mapping exercises; quizzes; literature suggestions; and much more — allowing you to customize this course to suit your needs.

Introduction to Aviation with Av-STEM Your student’s education can now take flight with Introduction to Aviation. This online aviation course makes at-home aviation training possible. Upon completing this course, your child will understand the aerodynamics of flight, how to read aviation charts, how navigation works, and so much more. Many fun hands-on applications clarify what could otherwise be a complicated subject matter. To boost your child’s retention, many of these projects are repeated through various scenarios. Over the next ten years, the FAA forecasts a shortage of pilots, mechanics, and other technical support personnel in the aviation industry. So Introduction to Aviation also includes about 30 aviation career pathway interviews. But even if your child is disinterested in pursuing the field of aviation, the knowledge he acquires through Introduction to Aviation can be transferred to a multitude of other careers. The Introduction to Aviation Course provides between 110 and 120 hours of learning for an approximately 3/4 credit as an aeronautical science elective. Included is online course access for a single student for as long as he needs it. He will also receive all necessary supplies except for an inexpensive joystick*, which can be easily bought locally. See below for a complete list of included supplies. *The joystick we recommend is the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. Features View a Course Video Demo: Click here to view the syllabus Supplies included are: An aviation plotter E6B Flight computer (similar to a circular slide rule) The three aviation charts used in the course A walk-along glider A digital download X-Plane 10 flight simulator for Alaska Please note: Some supplies are non-refundable. Please contact us for details. The plotter, E6B, and aviation charts are all professional quality. The X-Plane 10 simulator is the best home simulator on the market. Because supplies are shipped directly from the publisher, they will use the same method (USPS Priority Mail) which may differ from the method you choose for your Timberdoodle order. System Requirements: The course itself is online, so the only requirements are really a browser and access to the internet. One of the components, however, is the X-Plane 10 Flight Simulator. That is a program that you download for use in the course and it does have system requirements. X-Plane 10 Simulator System Requirements: Given X-Plane’s incredible capabilities and accuracy, it is not possible to run a current release of X‑Plane on an exceptionally old computer. A good rule of thumb is that any machine built in the last 18 to 24 months will probably be able to run the simulator acceptably. Computers up to about 36 months old may be fine if they were top-of-the-line machines when manufactured. Even if they weren’t, X‑Plane may still be able to run, albeit with its rendering options turned down. X-Plane 10 requires a computer with at least the following specifications: Dual Core, 2.5 GHz or faster 4 GB of RAM A video card with at least 1 GB of VRAM 10 GB of hard drive space However, for the best experience, we recommend the following: a Quad Core, 3.0 GHz or faster processor 16–20 GB of RAM a high-performance, DirectX 11-capable video card with at least 4 GB of on-board, dedicated VRAM. 10 GB of hard drive space To find your computer’s CPU speed and amount of RAM, Mac users can simply open the Apple Menu and click “About This Mac.” For Windows Vista and Windows 7 users, you can open the Start menu and type System to search for the Control Panel’s “System” item. Opening this will display the processor, its speed, and the amount of RAM installed. Windows XP users can get the same information by: Opening the Start menu Selecting the Control Panel Clicking Performance and Maintenance, and Clicking System. X-Plane depends most heavily on single thread CPU performance, but it will also take advantage of multiple cores or distinct processors – 4 are recommended. 16 GB of RAM is usually adequate, but 20 GB may be needed for the most complex custom scenery packages. Likewise, highly detailed custom scenery can use as much as 4 GB of VRAM at the maximum settings. Note: X‑Plane 10 does not support PowerPC-based Macs, or versions of OS X prior to 10.6.8.

 X-Plane depends most heavily on single thread CPU performance, but it will also take advantage of multiple cores or distinct processors – 4 are recommended. 16 GB of RAM is usually adequate, but 20 GB may be needed for the most complex custom scenery packages. Likewise, highly detailed custom scenery can use as much as 4 GB of VRAM at the maximum settings. Note: X‑Plane 10 does not support PowerPC-based Macs, or versions of OS X prior to 10.6.8.
