For the older edition, Saxon Math 87.

Make sure the DIVE CD you order is the same edition as the book you will be using.

Each DIVE Math lesson is taught along with several practice problems per lesson. Lessons are short and interactive, which minimizes time spent staring at a computer screen.

Easily rewind, pause, and fast forward with the click of a mouse.

Easy access to previously taught lessons that have been forgotten.

Dr. David Shormann, instructor, has over 6000 hours of teaching experience in science and mathematics.

Dr. Shormann's Christian testimony is included on each CD, and several math lessons begin with an encouraging Bible verse.

Every lesson in Saxon 87 (1st edition) is taught step-by-step on a digital whiteboard by Dr. Shormann, who has thousands of hours of experience teaching Saxon Math and Bob Jones Science. Students see and hear everything the instructor is writing and saying on a whiteboard on their computer screen. It is just like being in a real classroom, except there is no teacher in the way. Students learn by working practice problems that are similar, but not identical to the practice problems in the Saxon text. If students need more practice, they can work the problems in the text in addition to the DIVE problems explained on the CD. Easily re-wind, fast-forward, and pause with the click of a mouse.

Saxon 87 (1st edition) teaches the following concepts: 87 is a transition for students who have finished 76, but are not yet ready to begin Algebra 1/2. Emphasizes concepts and skills necessary for success in upper-level math courses, including: fractions, decimals, percents, ratios, perimeter, circumference, area, volume, exponents, scientific notation, signed numbers, word problems, graphing, functions, and basic algebra. If you can afford the 2nd edition text, I recommend it over the 1st edition. Lectures taught from a Christian worldview.
