This class is specifically geared for homeschoolers. In each class, I will introduce the topic and explain it in detail using the textbook. Then we will work through the examples and practice problems together. There should be time for participation and questions each class, and I can go over difficult problems at the beginning of the class after that lesson. 📚 Saxon Algebra 1, first semester (lessons 1-60).

- Students will become confident and master Algebra 1 skills
Homework Offered
Homework from the textbook will be assigned1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
A booklet of tests can be purchased as a companion to this class and text (see supplies section), as well as a solutions booklet. There are recommended tests for each week. These should be done at home and graded by the parent or the teacher can grade tests if necessary. The tests are used to gauge the students understanding of the material. Parent communication with the teacher is crucial so that we can ensure the student is on track. If a parent finds that the student needs focused instruction or practice, the student can be signed up for 1:1 tutoring.Grades Offered
Students should have completed 8th grade math, or Saxon 7/8, Saxon Algebra 1/2
Students should purchase the Saxon Algebra 1, 3rd Edition Textbook (orange with blue cover). This can be purchased for around $100 on Amazon or can be less if found used. The tests and answer keys can be purchased as well.
