This review is from: Algebra 1: An Incremental Development Solutions Manual (Paperback)

The description of the product was accurate. This book is the solutions manual, not just the answers, for the algebra 1 book. Because we see step by step how to get he answer, it helps our children understand the process,which is critical to algebra. If you have the algebra 1 book, you need the solutions manual, not just the answer key. It will save you hours of frustration and gives everyone more confidence to tackle those difficult problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars algebra 1: An Incremental Development, January 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Algebra 1: An Incremental Development Solutions Manual (Paperback)

I used this book to homeschool my daughter. She is not a math whiz. I wish there would have been a few more practice problems included in the assignment. But when she didn't get something it was helpful that she had to look it up. It reviewed her often. It is not a book you can skip around with. You have to go lesson by lesson. But for a child who is struggling they have a few more lessons to get it and review it. She has improved greatly. Because she does not retain well she has many times to reintroduce a problem and work it out. It is like taking a test ever day. That is why we picked it.

This review is from: Algebra 1: An Incremental Development Solutions Manual (Paperback)

We homeschooled our kids over a period of years, and Saxon Math, including Algebra 1, was always our choice for math texts. I also teach in a classical Christian school where we use Saxon Math as well. I find that for most students, if they will take the time to read the lesson well, do all of the problems, and then rework any problems they miss then they will achieve a high degree of mastery of the material at hand.

Many students meet their mathematical Waterloo in Algebra 1, but it doesn't have to be this way. I've worked with a number of students in Algebra 1 who, in spite of past failure and fear, have succeeded with Saxon Algebra 1. The key is to labor diligently every day: do every problem, check the answers every day, and rework any questions that are missed.

The greatest advantage of Saxon Math is that each lesson provides practice not only for the new problems but also built-in review for every kind of problem the student has previously encountered. Algebra 1 is no exception to the rule that Saxon Math texts help students learn math well. After Algebra 1, all of my kids who have taken it were definitely ready to move on to the next level.

In general, Saxon Math, including Algebra, is highly recommended. It's especially ideal for homeschooling families.
