Description
Saxon Algebra 1/2 Homeschool Kit
Classical Conversations endorses Saxon math as a complete K-12 Curriculum. No curriculum is ever perfect, but Saxon has the history and statistics to prove that it can take a home schooled student through Algebra II and even beyond without the guidance of an expert math teacher
Algebra 1/2 covers all topics normally taught in pre-algebra as well as additional topics from geometry and discrete mathematics. Algebra 1/2 represents the culmination of the study of pre-algebra mathematics.
The Saxon Algebra 1/2 Home Study Kit contains the 3rd edition of the student text, test forms, and answer key and continues to employ Saxon‘s signature incremental learning approach and continual review for mastery. Topics your student will learn include fractions, decimals, mixed number operations, scientific notation, prime and composite numbers, order of operations, coordinates, exponents, square roots, ratios, algebraic expressions, solving equations with one variable, working with signed numbers, geometry fundamentals, probability, and the Pythagorean Theorem.
If your student is a newcomer to classical education or needs to shore up the math foundation—especially arithmetic concepts—choose Saxon 8/7 instead for pre-algebra. In either case, we strongly believe young minds are far more capable than many people think, and that’s why we recommend using these pre-algebra programs ahead of the stated grade level—something John Saxon himself told us he supported. With the help of incremental advances and continuous review, your budding scholar will rise to the challenge of grasping concepts and experience the triumph of ever-improving mastery.

The Solutions Manual is sold separately from the Homeschool Kit. Although the Homeschool Packet contains all of the answers, the Solutions Manual contains the answers as well as solution details for each problem.
