gingersmom Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 We have used Saxon Math since 2nd grade and really like it. I read horrible reviews about Saxon Geometry so I would rather not take a chance and save my money. I would prefer a stand alone Geometry program and we really like the dive CDs they have for Saxon. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Well, we really liked the Saxon Geometry (used it with two kids) and I would not give it a bad review. The first edition was full of errors, but the 2nd was much better. If you like Saxon, you should give it a look before tossing it out. Some other choices: Math Without borders uses Chakerian's Geometry: A Guided Inquiry and has DVDs. A bit different, but a pretty solid book. AskDrCallahan.com offers DVDs that go with Jacobs' Geometry text. We have used these DVDs before (Calculus) and they are very good and affordable. Derek Owens' Geometry class also uses the Jacobs book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 My son used it at his charter school in 8th grade - I give it a "good" http://cathyduffyreviews.com/math/Saxon-Geometry.htm Well supported with Test booklets etc. Those that have not actually used a text book should not rate it.

gingersmom Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you all!!! I'm going to go ahead and order Saxon. I'm so relieved not to have to start over with something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omma Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 So sorry to hear your update. I have heard that My Father's World (MFW) uses Jacob's Geometry in between Saxon Alg. I and II. They use Saxon Math from 7th to 12th grade EXCEPT for inserting Jacob's Geometry, so I guess you are in good company here with not liking Saxon's Geometry! :grouphug: , Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefgazer Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Can you be specific about what you did not like? Was there anything you did like about it? What edition did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
