susie Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 My DS (12 yr. old) is finishing up Saxon 8/7 in a couple months. He typically scores 90% or above on the tests and 80% or above on the mixed practice. He is always required to correct any missed problems and does so with no trouble for the most part. Occasionally, I need to go over a concept with him but it usually doesn't take too much effort before he "gets it". I already own all the Chalkdust math (pre-algebra through pre-calc) from my older boys. However, for some reason, I'm concerned about him going straight from 8/7 to Chalkdust Algebra I. (maybe because my older boys always did pre-algebra first--math was not their strength) Has anyone ever done this? 8/7 straight to Chalkdust Algebra I? or something similar...any thoughts? how did it go?

Ellie Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 WEll, Math 87 is pre-algebra, if that's your concern. I don't know if the way Saxon teaches is different enough that there will be problems if he does Chalkdust, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freesia Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 My dd went from 8/7 to Saxon Algebra with no problem. It is pre-algebra, as Ellie said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
