Saxon Math is the nations 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. Algebra 1/2 is made up of five instructional components: Introduction of the New Increment, Examples with Complete Solutions, Practice of the Increment, Daily Problem Set, and Cumulative Tests. Algebra 1/2 covers all topics normally taught in pre-algebra, as well as additional topics from geometry and discrete mathematics. It is recommended for seventh-graders who plan to take first-year algebra in the eighth grade or for eighth-graders who plan to take first-year algebra in the ninth grade. Algebra 1/2 represents the culmination of the study of pre-algebra mathematics. The textbook contains answers to odd-numbered problems, and an answer key is provided for all homework problems. A Solutions Manual is also available for step-by-step solutions to the homework problems. |

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 Algebra 1/2 3rd edition is typically taught in 7th or 8th grade. This CD-ROM teaches all 123 Saxon Algebra 1/2 Lessons, plus the 10 Additional Topics, step-by-step. Because Saxon uses an incremental teaching approach, each lecture is only about 10-15 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. Algebra 1/2 thoroughly prepares students for Algebra 1 and beyond by building on Math 7/6 and Math 8/7. It is a culmination of pre-algebra mathematics and skills, plus it continues to build and expand on geometry while giving a thorough review of fractions, decimals and percent. Algebra 1/2 is typically skipped if students maintain an 80+ average on Math 8/7 2nd or 3rd Edition timed tests. However, this book can be completed in place of Math 8/7 as well. The only difference between 8/7 and Algebra 1/2 is that Math 8/7 has more practice on fractions, percents, decimals, and ratios while Algebra 1/2 has more pre-algebra concepts. They both do a good job of preparing students for Algebra 1 but Math 8/7 3rd Edition is generally recommended over Algebra 1/2 because most students need more work on building a strong foundation in basic mathematics, which makes the transition to algebra much easier.

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. |
