Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 How many are there? I am looking at the Algebra 1/2 on up. What are the differences? Which do ya'll suggest? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalGal Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Well, I just purchased Art Reed's DVDs for Algebra 1/2. :) http://www.homeschoolwithsaxon.com/onlinevideo.php You can view sample lessons by clicking on one of the links. I liked the fact that it is a video of an actual person in front of a board working the problems. I also like the fact that Mr. Reed has taught Saxon in schools and will answer questions via phone or email within 24 hours. He is very personable. I spoke with him on the phone for almost 1/2 hour the other day and he would have talked a lot longer if I had more questions. I also looked at SaxonTeacher and DIVE but just didn't like the presentation method and the voice -- the voice just about did me in. (I can't imagine giving that to my 14 year old and expecting her to pay attention.) :D But, I know many use these and are happy with them...

Of course, I've not used it yet, but I've read many good reviews for it on these boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Excellent info. I just checked him out. WOW! He is fantastic. I know what you mean about voices grating or monotones. I can't stand ChalkDust Math for that reason. Edited January 27, 2011 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
