You should not need this manual (if you purchased the full kit),
By
This review is from: Solutions Manual: Saxon Math Homeschool 8/7 with Prealgebra (Paperback)
You should purchase this ONLY if you could not find one complete kit and you are already have or can obtain the Student/Teacher book and the Tests and Worksheets book but you would be spending A LOT more money then you would if you purchased the complete kit instead of buying the books separately.
There should be THREE items in a complete package: a Student/Teacher manual, the Solutions manual (this one) and the (reproducible) Tests and Worksheets. If you have one student, buy the COMPLETE kit. If you have 2 or more students, you should buy one complete kit and as many extra student/teacher books, such as this one, as you may need. If you do not have the ability to copy the worksheets, which is LEGAL, then you should also order additional Tests and Worksheets books. However, for one child, you will end up paying A LOT more if you bought these items individually. Having 2 kids, and this is my experience for the past 5 years, from 3d to 7th grade, I order the complete kit from an education bookseller or from Amazon if I can find it here and an extra textbook from Amazon or one of the alternative sellers supported by Amazon. By the way, Saxon's Math works. I am not a home schooler because I have a full-time job but I've been using it with my kids since 3d grade as a Math booster and I am happy with their A's. Besides math, children acquire some discipline, study skills, test-taking skills and, me having 2 'students', they learn to compete as well. __________________________________ On the Saxon method: A one-year Math cycle is comprised of 120 lessons, 12 investigations and 23 review tests. Each lesson begins with a quick daily test where certain skills such as addition or multiplication are drilled. Following that, there are warm-up activities that ask the students to perform mental math and solve a problem. The body of the lesson follows, where one or sometimes 2 topics are discussed. The lesson practice that follows asks students to answer/solve a number of questions related to the subject matters covered by the lesson. Finally, the 'mixed practice' asks students to answer/solve 25-30 questions that could be on EVERYTHING covered by Saxon Math up to that point. Each individual question has references to the lesson(s) which the students may want to review if they are having trouble with the answer/solution. After every 5 lessons, beginning with the 10th, there is a 20-question test that covers material covered up to 5 lessons prior to that test. For example, the test given after lesson 25 will cover everything up to lesson 20. Every 10 lessons there is an Investigation. Investigations are in-depth and largely 'hands on' studies of specific and important topics such as 'calculating odds' or 'measuring liquids'. The expectation is for each lesson to last for about one hour. In practice, with 2 kids, I found that we spend anything from 60 to 90 minutes per lesson. At this point - doing 7th grade math - the children are capable to work on their own and my role is limited to reviewing the tests, 'teaching' the new topics and helping them with whatever questions or clarifications they may need.

This solutions manual needs the student text,
By
This review is from: Solutions Manual: Saxon Math Homeschool 8/7 with Prealgebra (Paperback)
This is a great publisher. As a note to those who have read the above review...You will definitely need to purchase the student text as well as the test/worksheet booklet. I highly recommend the DIVE CD also which is an instuctor reading the lesson and explaining it to the student. That inspired our children and greatly enhanced their math experience this past year.

This review is from: Solutions Manual: Saxon Math Homeschool 8/7 with Prealgebra (Paperback)
This book is exactly what I was looking for. I was getting pretty tired of doing all my daughter's assignment too just to correct her work.
