This Saxon Algebra 1/2 Home Study Kit (3rd Edition) includes the Student Textbook, Test Book/Answer Key Packet, and Solutions Manual. Containing 123 lessons, this text is the culmination of prealgebra mathematics, a full pre-algebra course and an introduction to geometry and discrete mathematics. Some topics covered include Prime and Composite numbers; fractions & decimals; order of operations, coordinates, exponents, square roots, ratios, algebraic phrases, probability, the Pythagorean Theorem and more. This text employs the cyclical method. That is its greatest strength. Once a concept is learned it is never forgotten because it is used regularly.
