Catalytic Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I bought a used Saxon Math 1 set, it has a teacher guide, meeting book, and a huge stack of lessons/worksheets. Looked through the worksheets, kiddo is well past them. Can I get away with just buying the student workbooks for 2 and 3 or do I really *need* the teacher book? He places in the 3 book, but he doesn't know temperatures yet, and he's just finishing public Kindergarten, so I thought we'd run through some of 2 first and then start 3 in a month or so.

rutheart Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Saxon uses the worksheets as a spiral review. The lessons themselves are contained in the teacher manual, at least for Saxon K-2 (I haven't looked at the 3 level yet). The teacher's manual tells you how to explain new concepts with manipulatives, which is key for this age. I would think you could more easily get away with buying only the Saxon teacher's manual and using any cheap grade level math workbook/worksheets for review.

Faithful_Steward Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I agree with pp. it is hard to tell what the lesson from the tm was simply by looking at the worksheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
