Saxon Math is the nation’s best-selling, most comprehensive, and most thoroughly researched math program for homeschoolers today. Each program is based on over 20 years of research and teaching success. With Saxon, you can help your child develop a complete mastery of math language and concepts, all the way from kindergarten to advanced high school levels.

Advanced Mathematics is made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment, Daily Problem Sets, and Cumulative Tests. In Advanced Mathematics, topics from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and mathematical analysis are interwoven to form a fully integrated text. A rigorous treatment of Euclidean geometry is also presented. Word problems are developed throughout the problem sets and become progressively more elaborate. With this practice, students will be able to solve challenging problems such as rate problems and work problems involving abstract quantities. The graphing calculator is used to graph functions and perform data analysis. Conceptually oriented problems that prepare students for college entrance exams (such as the ACT and SAT) are included in the problem sets.

Advanced Mathematics includes such topics as:

• permutations and combinations    • trigonometric identities    • inverse trigonometric functions    • conic sections    • graphs of sinusoids

• rectangular and polar representation of complex numbers    • De Moivre's theorem    • matrices and determinants    • the binomial theorem    • the rational roots theorem

DIVE Math teaches every lesson in each Saxon textbook from a Christian worldview. DIVE lectures utilize a digital whiteboard which looks and feels like being in a real classroom. Connecting new concepts to previous ones, Dr. Shormann patiently teaches students step-by-step how one concept builds on another while working several practice problems per lesson. Students work interactively by taking notes and working problems. They can easily pause, rewind or fast forward, learning at their own pace, thereby improving retention and understanding. Based on European and Asian teaching methods, Saxon's award-winning combination of incremental teaching, spiral review and integration of algebra with geometry ensures students know "all their math all the time", resulting in higher scores on standardized tests and enabling students to confidently move to higher levels of math.

DIVE Advanced Math 2nd edition is typically taught for three semesters starting in 10^th or 11^th grade. This CD-ROM teaches all 125 Saxon Advanced Math Lessons step-by-step and includes the CLEP Professor Precalculus CLEP Exam prep course. Because Saxon uses an incremental teaching approach, each lecture is only about 15-20 minutes long. Dr. Shormann builds lesson upon lesson, slowly developing complex concepts from bite sized lessons that are easy to grasp. Students watch the lecture and take notes, working the practice problems Dr. Shormann presents, and pausing and rewinding as necessary until a concept is understood. If students want additional practice, they can complete the Example problems in the Saxon textbook. After the lesson, students complete the 30-question Problem Set in the Saxon text. While a few problems in the Problem Set come from the new concept, most problems come from previous lessons. Each problem is cross-referenced back to the lesson where it was taught (cross-referencing found in the Solutions Manual), allowing students to quickly review any concept.

This unique method of spiral review improves critical thinking skills, increases long term retention, and raises standardized test scores. However, this method can be difficult to teach because of the seemingly random presentation of topics. That is why Saxon's founder, John Saxon, recommended teacher training for all of his courses. DIVE CDs provide that teacher, as Dr. Shormann explains how new topics connect to previously learned material, helping students see the "big picture". Also, when a student gets stuck or forgets how to work a problem, they simply click on the DIVE lesson where the concept was originally taught and watch that lesson again. The same can be done when correcting tests. This makes it very easy to fill in any gaps as they show up.

Advanced Math contains all the concepts typically covered in a High School Pre-Calculus course. This course fully integrates topics for algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, discrete mathematics, and mathematical analysis. Word problems are developed throughout the problem sets and become progressively more elaborate. With this practice, high school level students will be able to solve challenging problems such as rate problems and work problems involving abstract quantities. Conceptually oriented problems that help prepare students for college entrance exams (such as the ACT and SAT) are included in the problem sets. In addition, students will learn geometry alongside algebra, similar to how high school math is taught in Europe and Asia. Incidentally, European and Asian students consistently outperform American students on international math tests. Completing Saxon Algebra 1, 2, and the first half of Advanced Math, 2nd ed., is equivalent to two credits of algebra and one credit of geometry.

Earn College Credit for Precalculus! Saxon Advanced Math contains all the material covered on the CLEP Precalculus exam, and the CLEP Professor Precalculus course is included FREE on the DIVE Advanced Math CD. If a student does well in Advanced Math, with a little extra study using CLEP Professor they can easily pass the CLEP Precalculus exam.

Saxon Phonics Intervention
1st Edition Homeschool Kit

Retail - $194.00 • Our Price - $134.95

Over 30% Off!

Though developed by Lorna Simmons, author of the successful Phonics K-2 series, Phonics Intervention is not an extension of that series. Instead, it was written specifically for older, struggling students who have difficulty reading and spelling. This supplemental program is designed to ensure that no student is left behind.

The program begins with a quick review of consonants and then moves to vowels, decoding, spelling, and reading comprehension. Students are taught explicit, predictable strategies for decoding and spelling words. Worksheets, speed drills, and vocabulary tests provide continual reinforcement of concepts learned as well as a daily opportunity to read connected text. All student reading materials contain fully controlled, decodable text to ensure student success. A built-in vocabulary component helps increase vocabulary while reinforcing phonics and spelling rules. Progressively difficult alphabetizing activities teach dictionary skills. Cumulative assessments occur at regular intervals, and specific remediation activities are provided for students who have difficulty. Worksheets include twenty-five fact-based paragraphs that teach students about U.S. history, so students learn valuable information and don't feel as if they're in a remedial reading class.

Homeschool Kit Contents:

The Phonics Intervention homeschool kit includes a teacher's manual, classroom materials, and a student workbook. All three components are fully integrated into the daily lesson plans.

Teacher's Manual - The nonconsumable teacher's manual is well-organized, providing all the information a parent needs to successfully teach. Every lesson provides model dialogue and lesson plans for parents to follow, ensuring clear, well-paced instruction. The manual also contains an assortment of supplementary materials, including assessments; remediation activities; vocabulary tests; speed drills; and extensive reading, spelling, and vocabulary word lists.

Student Workbook - The consumable student workbook serves as both a reference book and a practice book. It contains everything the student will need throughout the year, including worksheets, assessments, speed drills, word lists, and reference materials. The student keeps his or her workbook at the completion of the program for continued reference and review.

Classroom Materials - The nonconsumable classroom materials include six card decks, one audiotape, and assorted masters. Letter, picture, spelling, sight word, affix, and vocabulary cards form the Review Decks. An audiotape of phonetic sounds allows parents to hear the correct pronunciation(s) of each letter or letter cluster. Finally, parents are provided with a variety of masters: a pretest, a post test, a phonemic awareness assessment, assessment recording forms, sight word evaluation recording forms, and a master sight word list.
