Math 87: An Incremental Development: Homeschool

Rating:
Summary: Great Resource
Review: I am a sixth grade teacher and I have found the best way to cut down on behavior issues is to provide materials for students at their developmental level. Each year I have a group of students who love math and who ask for extra homework. Why? I allow them to use the saxon 87 book. The book is easy to understand and the kids can teach themselves. I stop by this high group to check that they understand the concept and away they go. Most of the math books that I have encountered are not that way -at all!
I need the answer key for Algebra 1/2 2nd edition, three Student editions of Algebra 1/2 2nd edition books and four saxon 87 books (1999)student books. (I have an unusually high number of high kids this year. email me at [e-mail] Thanks

Review: I HAD THIS BOOK IN SIXTH GRADE, AND IT WAS A GR8 BOOK. THE AUTHOR EXPLAINS EVERYTHING IN DETAIL, BUT THINGS CAN BE A BIT CONFUSING =)

Summary: Amazing results.
Review: I started using this book with reluctance, not flashy, no color... blah, I thought. But I got it for free (from my niece) so I said what the heck, let's give it a try. My 7th grade daughter has always struggled with math and I felt this book might be too much, but surprise! She has improved greatly, math is no longer a chore, she finishes quickly, and she finally gets it. Whee!! The book introduces new concepts but at the same time gives practice in old concepts, in that way the child does not forget the previous concepts, she is constantly reviewing.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: My children have been using Saxon Math for 3 years. I love how the book uses the repetitive form to insure they do not forget the things they have learned. I also love that the book uses small steps each day so as not to overload the childs mind. Each lesson teaches one step which they master before going on to the next step. Also Saxon lists the chapter reference in parentheses under each number in the practice problem sets for each lesson so if they still don't understand they can go back and refresh their memory. If not for Saxon my children would not be doing so well in Math.
