Pre-requisite:
We want you to be successful in this course. Please use the following to find the best fit.
- Take and passed Saxon 3 course (recommended 80% or better) OR pass a Saxon Placement Test recommending placement in this course.
- Link to Saxon Placement Test

Instructional videos are available for most lessons. If a live class is offered, students will have access to the recordings of class if they need to review or miss class. Students that cannot attend the live class can choose to take the course on a "recording only" basis.
The online homework assignments draw questions from a large pool of questions of similar type. Finished attempts also offer the option to redo a another problem from the same question pool allowing extra practice. Multiple attempts are allowed but new questions are given on the new attempt instead of the same problem over and over.
Weekly tests have limited attempts to provide a true assessment of skills. If students are not satisfied with their first attempt, they may try one more time, but there will be no additional resets. The score will be an average between the two attempts. (The second test will have different questions.)

Saxon Algebra 1/2
Grade: 7-9 (Depending on student)
NOTE: Most students will take EITHER Saxon 87 OR Saxon Algebra 1/2, but not both. We do not have Saxon 87 built for VHSG.
Saxon 87 offers more review on basic arithmetic. If your student is still struggling with math, it may be best to use Saxon 87 to firm up the basics. Algebra 1/2 moves faster into introductory Algebra. Both courses are acceptable to use as a pre-algebra course prior to using Algebra.
A placement test is given below to help you determine where to place your student.
Pre-requisite:
We want you to be successful in this course. Please use the following to find the best fit.
- Take and passed Saxon 76 course (recommended 80% or better) OR pass a Saxon Placement Test recommending placement in this course.
- Link to Saxon Placement Test
- Own a copy of the Saxon Algebra 76 Student Text (Third Edition recommended)
Description:

For Saxon Algebra 1/2, the 3rd Edition Student Text is a required resource for the VHSG classes. (2nd Edition will also work.) The Solutions Manual and Kit are highly recommended unless the parent is very comfortable with math. You will want it as a resource.
You MUST own the student text to take this course. It is required to meet copyright agreements with the publisher.
Some families may like the other options for extra reinforcement if you have a student that needs more help. The VHSG Algebra 1/2 course has online homework, but we have not had volunteer time to make instructional videos for most of the lessons. You may wish to have a more detailed instructional video to pair with the VHSG online homework if you are not participating in a live class. |

You may wish to add some of the other resources, such as notebooks. They are not required for the VHSG portion of the class, but may be something you will want to do as a family. For lab credit, the lab kits will save time for you so you are not having to gather individual materials for the experiments as you go.
