• Solutions Manual: Solutions Manual for Saxon Math Algebra 1/2 contains step-by-step solutions to problem sets. Highly recommended! Not included in Home Study Kit.


• Basic Fact Cards: help students master basic arithmetic facts. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems are printed on two-sided flash cards.


• DIVE for Saxon Math: Highly Recommended! This is a huge timesaver for parents and kids love it. Only $45.00 when purchased with a Saxon Math Kit. That works out to having a math tutor for less than less than $0.40 per math lesson.

With DIVE, every lesson in the Saxon Math Textbook is taught step-by-step on a digital whiteboard by Dr. Shormann, who has logged thousands of hours teaching Saxon Math. 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.

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

Easy access to previously taught lessons that have been forgotten.

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

DIVE CDs are math lectures designed to supplement the Saxon Math (TM) curriculum. D.I.V.E. is not affiliated with Saxon Publishers and contains Christian Worldview content.
