scrapbabe Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 We back tracked a little with math this year to fill in some gaps for my son. I have Saxon 3. I'm trying to find a good starting point. The first part is super easy for him. I was thinking I would have him do the assessments until we get to one he can't do, then start from there. Does that sound right? Shalynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani3boys Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 That's a great way to do it. I'm doing this for myself with Saxon Algebra. I'm taking the tests and then when I get to a test that I don't do well on I will go back and do the actual lessons from that point on.

scrapbabe Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks! It was probably a dumb question. I wasn't sure I was looking at it correctly.:tongue_smilie: Shalynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 When I was using saxon I called them about this exact thing. They said to do just that, give the assessments until the student gets below 80% and then start at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Sherry Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I agree with the others that that's a great way to do it, assuming all of the skills covered will be covered in the assessments.If he misses problems on certain skills but gets everything else in certain chapters you could cover those skills as needed instead of doing the entire chapter until you get to a place in the program that he needs to cover more thoroughly. Also,it 's not a dumb question. You never know what bit of information you may pick up here you didn't think of when you ask questions so there is never any harm in asking. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
