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.
Calculus is
made up of four instructional components: Introduction of the New
Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Daily Problem Sets, and
Cumulative Tests. Calculus treats all the topics normally covered
in an Advanced Placement AB-level calculus program, as well as many from a
BC-level program. The text begins with a review of the mathematical
concepts and skills required for calculus. In the early problem sets,
students practice setting up word problems they will later encounter as
calculus problems. The problem sets contain multiple-choice and
conceptually-oriented problems similar to those found on the Advanced
Placement examination. Whenever possible, an intuitive introduction
precedes a rigorous examination of a concept. Proofs are provided for all
important theorems. For example, three proofs, one intuitive and two
rigorous, are given for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Numerous
applications to physics, chemistry, engineering, and business are also
treated in both the lessons and the problem sets. Use of this text has
allowed students to take the Advanced Placement examination and score
well. |

Homeschool Kit Contents:
Saxon's Advanced Placement programs have been carefully
planned and packaged. All you need to successfully teach each program is
included in the homeschool kit. The Calculus homeschool kit
includes a textbook, an answer key for homework, and tests with answers.
Please note: The
Solutions Manual is a separate purchase from the
Calculus Homeschool Kit. |
|
The Saxon Calculus Solutions Manual provides step-by-step solutions for
each problem in the problem sets found in the student textbook.
Final answers are in bold for accurate, efficient grading. Solutions to test problems are not
included. A great addition to the
Saxon Calculus Homeschool Kit! |

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 Calculus 2nd edition
is typically taught for three semesters
starting in the spring of 11th grade. This CD-ROM teaches all
148 Lessons step-by-step and includes the CLEP Professor Calculus
CLEP and AP Exam prep course. Because Saxon uses an incremental
teaching approach, each lecture is only about 10-20 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 and
Practice Set 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, 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.
Saxon Calculus is
designed for prospective math majors in college as well as students
preparing for engineering, physics, business analysis, or the life
sciences. This course covers all topics normally found in both the
Advanced Placement AB and BC level programs. Problem sets contain
multiple-choice and conceptually oriented problems similar to those
in Advanced Placement exams. Also included are numerous
applications to physics, chemistry, engineering, and business.
Specific topics include limits, derivatives, integrals, differential
equations, polar equations, vector equations, parametric equations,
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, power series and many more.

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. |

Physics was
written with both average and gifted students in mind. The subject is
taught at an introductory level, allowing the average high school student
to grasp the concepts of Newton's laws, statics, dynamics, thermodynamics,
optics, DC circuits, waves, electromagnetics, and special relativity. The
topics are covered to a depth appropriate for college students majoring in
non-engineering disciplines. Consequently, gifted students who use this
book will have great success with the Advanced Placement Physics
examination, and average students who are willing to do the homework will
also be able to pass the examination. This book does not require that the
teacher have a background in physics. Anyone who has taught second year
algebra, especially Saxon's Algebra 2, can teach this book
successfully. Topics from the Advanced Placement Level B Exam can be
covered before the exam is given in early May. |
|
Homeschool Kit Contents:
Saxon's Advanced Placement programs have been carefully
planned and packaged. All you need to successfully teach each program is
included in the homeschool kit. The Physics homeschool kit includes
a textbook, an answer key for homework, and tests with answers. Please note: The
Solutions Manual is a separate purchase from the
Physics Homeschool Kit. |
|
The Saxon Physics Solutions Manual provides step-by-step solutions for
each problem in the problem sets found in the student textbook.
Final answers are in bold for accurate, efficient grading. Solutions to test problems are not

DIVE Science
CD-ROMs are college preparatory, interactive video lectures and labs
that teach physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics from a
Christian worldview. Each CD contains digital whiteboard lectures,
hands-on interactive video labs, review questions, quarterly exams,
and solutions to every review question and exam question. Digital
video lectures and labs allow students to learn at their own pace,
pausing and rewinding as necessary until a concept is understood.
Students who do well with DIVE Science can, with a little extra
effort, receive college credit by passing a CLEP or AP exam.
Pre-requisite: Pre-Calculus (DIVE Advanced Math) completed, or
taking concurrently.
This is the 4th and final
college-preparatory, high school science course offered by DIVE.
DIVE Physics 1st edition teaches the Saxon Physics
curriculum, and the textbook and solutions manual are required.
Typically completed in 11th or 12th grade,
DIVE Physics is a full-year course teaching concepts found in a
typical high school AP physics course, preparing students for the AP
Physics exam. Topics include but are not limited to Science and
Christianity, Newton’s laws, speed and velocity, torque,
impulse/momentum, relativity theory, work, gases and thermodynamics,
potential and kinetic energy, electricity and magnetism, circuit
theory and Ohm’s law, and reflection and refraction. DIVE Physics
contains 100 lectures, one for each lesson in the Saxon Physics
textbook.
There are 23 video labs, most of which are taught
using the scientific method. Students formulate a hypothesis,
perform the experiment, and then use the results to determine
whether their hypothesis was correct. The majority of DIVE Physics
labs use equipment that is too cost-prohibitive for home use, and
therefore a supply list is not currently available for the labs. A
printable workbook is included containing all lab activities.
Quarterly exams are an integral part of DIVE Physics,
as they promote study habits similar to what a student should expect
in college, where exams are given infrequently, yet cover several
weeks of material. Students prepare for the quarterly exams by
studying their weekly Saxon tests. If they understand the material
on the Saxon weekly tests, then the quarterly exams are not
difficult. A grade calculator is also provided. Parents simply enter
homework, lab, Saxon weekly test and DIVE quarterly exam grades into
the calculator, and it automatically calculates the student’s
overall grade.
Students using DIVE Physics will also become skilled
at working with the scientific method, will be familiar with the use
of technology in science, and will develop their lab skills above
and beyond most of their peers. Most importantly, students will have
a better understanding and appreciation for the rich Christian
heritage that exists in science, and will better understand the
importance of studying His word and His works as they seek to become
good rulers of His creation.
