Description

Classical Conversations endorses Saxon maths as a complete maths curriculum. No curriculum is ever perfect, but Saxon has the history and statistics to prove that it can take a home educated student through Algebra II and even beyond without the guidance of an expert maths teacher.

Saxon math programs produce confident students who are not only able to correctly compute, but also to apply concepts to new situations. These materials gently develop concepts, and the practice of those concepts is extended over a considerable period of time. This is called "incremental development and continual review." Material is introduced in easily understandable pieces (increments), allowing students to grasp one facet of a concept before the next one is introduced. Both facets are then practiced together until another one is introduced. This feature is combined with continual review in every lesson throughout the year. Topics are never dropped but are increased in complexity and practiced every day, providing the time required for concepts to become totally familiar.

This Saxon Algebra 2 Home Study Kit includes the Student Textbook, Testing Book and Answer Key. Traditional second-year algebra topics, as well as a full semester of informal geometry, are included with both real-world, abstract and interdisciplinary applications. Topics include geometric functions like angles, perimeters, and proportional segments; negative exponents; quadratic equations; metric conversions; logarithms; and advanced factoring. Includes Student Textbook (Hardcover), containing 129 Lessons, Glossary and Index; Answer Key to all Student Textbook Problem Sets (577 pages). Also includes Homeschool Packet With Test Forms, containing 32 Test Forms for homeschooling, Answer Key to all homeschool Tests, and Answer Key to all Student Textbook Problem Sets.

    Note: Algebra 2 is recommended for Year 11 students, or highly motivated Year 10 students who have already completed Algebra 1.
