Saxon Math 2 Home Study Teacher's Edition

The Saxon Math 2 Home Study Teacher's Edition gives you the tools to feel confident about effectively teaching first grade math—even if you are new to the endeavor! At the beginning of each lesson, this manual gives you a materials list, as well as preparation notes for the night before and the morning of the lesson. It also provides a detailed teaching script to guide you through your teacher-student meeting and lesson time. Reduced student pages make it easy to track along with your learner and include overprinted answers to help you check work quickly. Saxon 2 methodically builds on previously learned concepts and increases retention. The course covers working with larger numbers, geometric shapes, Venn diagrams, graphs, basic calculations, simple fractions, and multistep problems. Children will learn their multiplication facts this year, too.

The friendliest and most thorough math program available, the Saxon approach uses incremental advances and continual review to allow any student to master the grammar of math easily. Young minds are eager and able to learn, and that's why we recommend using this program ahead of the stated grade level—something John Saxon himself told us he supported. You may find the need to read problems aloud to your student, especially at the beginning of the school year, but that's no cause for concern. Your child will be able to grasp the content and drill, drill, drill to experience the essential triumph of ever-improving mastery.
