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. |

Homeschool Kit Contents:
The Saxon middle grades mathematics programs have been
carefully planned and packaged. All you need to successfully teach each
program is included in the homeschool kit. The Algebra 1/2
homeschool kit includes a textbook, tests, and an answer key for homework
problems and tests. Please note: The
Solutions Manual is a separate purchase from the
Algebra 1/2 Homeschool Kit. |
|
The Saxon Algebra 1/2 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 Algebra 1/2 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 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. |
