Saxon Math 87 - 7th Grade

In Saxon Math 87, students get into rigorous pre-algebra topics. Basic concepts from previous years are the subject of review and reinforcement; word problems practice problem solving techniques. New concepts and procedures, as well as vocabulary are introduced to prepare students for success in upper-level math. Some of the new topics covered include ratios, perimeter, circumference, area, and volume; scientific notation.

The characteristic incremental approach and spiral review of Saxon Math books assist the seventh grade student to learn and retain material. The new concepts are broken into small parts and each part is introduced in a separate lesson, gradually building up to the complete concept. Daily problem set review constantly practices all previous problem types.

Students of Saxon Math 87 consistently perform well on standardized tests.

Teaching is easy with the way Saxon Math books are laid out. There are no special background requirements. The format encourages independent learning, with the student reading the lesson on his own, then working the problems. The solutions manual with its complete worked out problems is a great boon to a teacher who wishes to give partial credit on a students’ work without having to write out the whole problem again.
