Saxon Math 87 2nd Edition Home Study Kit has been carefully planned and packaged to include all the materials required for instruction including the student textbook, the Answer Key, and the Test booklet. The Answer Key contains the answers to all of the problems in the textbook plus answers to all of the test questions. The Test booklet provides test questions for review after every ten lessons. Saxon Math 87 may be purchased as a complete set or in part.

Typically used in the 7th grade, Math 87 is a transition program for students who have completed Math 76 but are not ready to enroll in prealgebra. Basic mathematical concepts and skills are reviewed and reinforced. Concepts, procedures, and vocabulary needed to succeed in upper-level mathematics courses are introduced and developed incrementally with continual practice. Math 87 includes the study of fractions, decimals, percents, and ratios; perimeter, circumference, area, and volume; exponents; scientific notation; and signed numbers. Students continually practice problem-solving techniques through word problems. The student edition contains no answers, the answer key booklet provides the answers.

Algebra 1/2

Algebra 1/2 3rd Edition Home Study Kit 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 prealgebra, 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 prealgebra 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.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1(Third Edition) covers topics typically treated in a first-year algebra course. Specific topics covered include the following: arithmetic of and evaluation of expressions involving signed numbers, exponents and roots, properties of the real numbers, absolute value and equations and inequalities involving absolute value, scientific notation, unit conversions, solution of equations in one unknown and solution of simultaneous equations, the algebra of polynomials and rational expressions, word problems requiring algebra for their solution (such as uniform motion and coin problems), graphical solution of simultaneous equations, Pythagorean theorem, algebraic proofs, functions and functional notation, solution of quadratic equations via factoring and completing the square, direct and inverse variation, and exponential growth, computation of the perimeter and areas of two-dimensional regions, computation of the surface area and volume of a wide variety of geometric solids, and statistics and probability.

Algebra 2

Algebra 2(Second Edition) not only treats topics that are traditionally covered in second-year algebra, it covers a considerable amount of geometry. Specific algebra topics covered include the following: graphical solution to simultaneous equations, scientific notation, radicals, roots of quadratic equations including complex roots, properties of the real numbers, inequalities and systems of inequalities, logarithms and antilogarithms, exponential equations, basic trigonometric functions, algebra of polynomials, vectors, polar and rectangular coordinate systems, and a wide spectrum of word problems requiring algebra to solve. Considerable time is spent developing geometric concepts and writing proof outlines. Students completing Algebra 2will have studied the equivalent of one semester of informal geometry. Applications to other subjects such as physics and chemistry as well as "real-world" problems are covered including gas law, force vector, chemical mixture, percent markups, etc. Set theory, probability and statistics, and other topics are also treated.

Advanced Mathematics

In Advanced Mathematics(Second Edition), topics from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, discrete mathematics, and mathematical analysis are interwoven to form a fully integrated text. Specific topics covered in this text include permutations and combinations, trigonometric identities, inverse trigonometric functions, conic sections, graphs of sinusoids, rectangular and polar representations of complex numbers, De Moivre's theorem, matrices and determinants, the binomial theorem, and the rational roots theorem. Additionally, a rigorous treatment of Euclidean geometry is presented. Word problems are developed through the problem sets and become progressively more elaborate and difficult. By the end of the text, students will be able to solve competition-level problems with ease. The graphing calculator is studied and used to graph functions and perform data analysis. Also, conceptually-oriented problems that prepare students for college entrance exams (such as the ACT and SAT) are included in the problem sets.

Calculus

Calculus treats all the topics normally covered in an Advanced Placement AB-level calculus program, as well as many of the topics required for a BC-level program. The text begins with a thorough review of those mathematical concepts and skills required for calculus. In the early problem sets, students practice "setting up" word problems they will later encounter as calculus problems. The problem sets contain multiple-choice and conceptually-oriented problems similar to those found on the Advanced Placement examination. Whenever possible, students are provided an intuitive introduction to concepts prior to a rigorous examination of them. Proofs are provided for all important theorems. For example, three proofs, one intuitive and two rigorous, are given for the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Also, numerous applications to physics, chemistry, engineering, and business are treated in both the lessons and the problem sets. Use of this text has allowed students to take the Advanced Placement examination and score well.

Physics

Saxon's Physicswas written with both average and gifted students in mind. The subject is taught at an introductory level, which will allow the average high school student to grasp the concepts of Newton's laws, statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, optics, dc circuits, waves, electromagnetics, and special relativity. Yet the topics are covered to a depth appropriate for college students majoring in non-engineering disciplines. Consequently, gifted students who use this book will have great success with the Advanced Placement physics examination and average students who are willing to do the homework will also be able to pass the examination. This book does not require that the teacher have a background in physics. Any teacher who has taught algebra II, especially Saxon's Algebra 2,can teach this book successfully. Physicscan be completed before the Advanced Placement examination is given in early May.

Phonics K

Phonics K begins by working with auditory discrimination skills to see if the children are aware of the different sounds of the English language and are ready to learn to read. When they are ready, the teacher begins by teaching the name, sound, and written form of each letter. In order to provide plenty of time for practice, one week is devoted to each letter. When a new letter is taught, students review all previously taught letters, as they do every day, to make sure they have enough exposure to master each letter. After learning three letters, the children begin to blend letters to create words and unblend words to spell. Children are never asked to read or write with sounds they have not been taught.

Phonics 1

Phonics 1begins by teaching a new letter or letters every day, then reviewing those letters for as long as necessary. First-graders learn two letters, then begin blending words together to read, and unblending words to spell. As the children progress, they are given small take-home books (readers) that contain words with sounds they can blend. Comprehension tests are provided to monitor progress. Games and activities are provided to motivate the children having the least success. Each day the children review all previous learning and have a homework page for continued reinforcement. Spelling rules are taught so the children learn to spell by using knowledge instead of memorization only. Common suffixes and a few prefixes are taught. prefixes and suffixes.

Phonics 2

Phonics 2begins with a quick review of vowels and consonants, then moves to decoding and reading comprehension. Second graders review all situations covered in Phonics 1, then are exposed to higher levels of comprehension, harder words for spelling, higher level vocabulary, and an in-depth study of prefixes and suffixes.
