Algebra 1: An Incremental Development Solutions Manual
Reader Reviews This review is from: Algebra 1: An Incremental Development (Hardcover) As homeschooling parents, we needed a direction in math that allowed our son to be slightly independent, as neither of us progressed beyond college algebra for our careers. Admittedly, our son has a high aptitude for math, which greatly increases the success based on a book in Saxon's curriculum. The format of Algebra I is very straightforward. In each section, a few pages are spent explaning the lesson, with examples and solutions. New terms are introduced as needed and constantly referred back to in later lessons. The problem sets (30 in each lesson - 120 lessons in all) spend a handful of questions on the current lesson, and constantly rehash previous lessons. For example, lesson ten may include about 5-8 problems from lesson 10, then 5 from lesson 9, 5 from lesson 8, and maybe ten from previous others, especially from important or milestone lessons where something new was introduced. The tests follow the same format. Yes, there is a lot of overlap, but what we found was that since the same concepts were quizzed on every lesson, our son became very quick to solve them. He began to skip steps and do much of the work in his head after a while. For strong math students, this is common, and may not be related to the book itself. I was concerned about homeschooling math largely because I never took advanced courses in college. I was able to "re-learn" Algebra by following along in this book and occasionally doing some of the problem sets. Our son enjoys the format and is eager to start Algebra 2, using the Saxon book. Overall, especially for teachers that are not math wizards, the Saxon format works well. Our son said that although the problem sets get tedious, he thought that by going over the material over and over again, he was able to do well on the tests. Comment | | (Report this)
