algebra 1: An Incremental Development:
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.

Saxon Math is Great!:
I have used Saxon Math in the public school since 1983. I have homeschooled my 3 children with Saxon Math. It is a wonderful program. I fell in love with the Algebra 1/2 book the first year I used it . I have used all the books from Math 54 to Advanced Math in the public school and homeschool. I have used it with Gifted and Slow Learners. All students can be successful if they will follow the directions and do each problem. My children loved it. They even use it in college to clearify work they are doing or to tutor students.

I am using this book for my kids. It is a good book. But the problem set after each chapter is not enough. They usually have about 20 - 30 problems. It is not enough for kid's exercise. Does anyone know where I can find the problem set book to use with this book? Thanks

I am using this book for my kids. It is a good book. But the poblem set in each chapter is not enough, just about 20- 30 problems. The kids can't get enough exercise. Does anyone know where I can find the problem set book to use with this book? thanks

I am not a supporter of Saxon.:
.... I preferred books that are written in chapter format. They are much easier to understand. I don't like the way Saxon used problem sets. There aren't enough practices for the lessons taught and too much problems from other lessons. I don't think that reviewing in such way is necessary, and I believe that it is better to give enough practices to the lessons that the students just learn.
