Hillary in KS Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Ds is finishing Saxon Algebra 1. He's got about 10 lessons left. The Alg 2 book is tempting him. How bad would it be if I let him jump right into Alg. 2, and not finish those last 10 lessons? I know that the lower level Saxon books have quite a bit of review at the beginning. Does Saxon's Alg 2? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinRTX Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It's been awhile since I did Alg 2, but I don't think I remember much review at the beginning. I made mine start with lesson 1 and before we always skipped the first several lessons. LInda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 In my opinion, it's better to finish algebra I to the end. If you think the beginning of II will be too much review, just give the tests and let him test out of the chapters that are review; that may be 20 or even 30 lessons, but look closely at any errors on the tests to make sure it's just arithmetic and not the concept. Go back to any lessons just to have him understand anything that he misses. HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani3boys Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 There is very little review in algebra II. My son is on lesson 44, and this is the first time he has not had very much review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! My sister was tutored in Saxon Algebra 1 and her tutor only made her go through lesson 100 and then she went into Saxon algebra 2 and she is doing just fine and wasn't behind at all.
