Pre-Algebra
Algebra 1/2, 3rd edition text, Saxon Publishers
Description: Saxon Algebra 1/2 is recommended for use by
seventh graders who plan to take algebra in the eighth grade or
by eighth graders who plan to take algebra in the ninth grade.
Algebra 1/2 covers all the topics normally covered in a
pre-algebra course as well as additional topics from geometry
and discrete mathematics. Algebra 1/2 represents the
culmination of the study of pre-algebra mathematics. Students
completing the program are expected to be well-versed in the
following areas: fractions, decimals, mixed numbers, signed
numbers, numbers in base 2, arithmetic operations involving all
these forms of numbers, order of operations, percents,
proportions, ratios, divisibility, rounding, place value, unit
conversions, scientific notation, and word problems involving these
pre-algebra concepts. Students are also introduced to
rudimentary algebra topics such as the evaluation of algebraic
expressions, the simplification of algebraic expressions, and the
solution of linear equations in one unknown. Also included are
geometric concepts and topics such as perimeter, area, surface
area, volume, classification of geometric figures and solids,
geometric constructions, and symmetry.
Algebra 1
Algebra 1, 3rd edition text, Saxon Publishers
Description: Saxon's 3rd edition Algebra 1 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.
(there is a 4th edition available in this text and if there is enough
demand I will add a new time slot to teach out of this edition,
please email before signing up to use the 4th edition)
Algebra 2
Algebra 2, 3rd edition text, Saxon Publishers
Description: Saxon Algebra 2 3rd 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 2 will 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.

Pre-Calculus
Advanced Mathematics, 2nd edition text, Saxon Publishers
Description: Advanced Mathematics (Second Edition) features
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.
Calculus
Saxon Calculus 2nd edition text, Saxon Publishers
Description: Saxon Calculus 2nd Edition Student Edition
Calculus is designed for prospective mathematics majors and
students interested in engineering, computer science, physics,
business or the life sciences. The program covers all topics in the
Advanced Placement Calculus AB and Calculus BC syllabi.
Instruction takes full advantage of graphing calculators, using
them for visual demonstrations of concepts and confirming
calculations.
Geometry
Saxon Math Geometry 1st edition text, Saxon Publishers
Description: Geometry includes all topics in a high school geometry
course, including perspective, space, and dimension associated
with practical and axiomatic geometry. Students learn how to
apply and calculate measurements of lengths, heights,
circumference, areas, and volumes. Geometry introduces
trigonometry and allows students to work with transformations.
Students will use logic to create proofs and constructions and will
work with key geometry theorems and proofs.
