justsomedude Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I think he is at about the 4th or 5th grade level. Normally I would just order Saxon 54 homeschool kit (old edition) for him. Here's the wrinkle: The prison limits each inmate to a total of ten books. If I have to buy a textbook plus an answer key plus a test booklet, that would presumably count as three books. Because I do not want to use up more than one book "slot," it is much better if I can buy something that has both questions and answers contained within the confines of a single book or workbook. Also, the prison only accepts books fulfilled by Amazon.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find them at christianbook.com. That said, have you checked to see if there are educational services or ministries available already? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bensonduck Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Often prisons have educational opportunities available for the inmates and they are sometimes required. You may want to check to see what programs this prison offers. I.e., if the inmate is already in a math class several days per week, perhaps the inmate might prefer to save those book slots for pleasure reading during his/her free hours? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 You might consider Margaret Lial's Basic College Math. Hmm, I see though that new copies from Amazon are quite expensive. Are you able to send a used book through Amazon.com? Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The older editions are just as good as the new ones and much cheaper. They have several used copies of Edition 8, the edition I have, that are fulfilled by Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0321557123/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used Edited November 3, 2018 by ElizabethB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
