Master middle school math with the 7/6 Saxon Math course introducing functions and coordinate graphing, integers, exponential expressions, and prime factorization. Students will also learn about the order of operations, number lines, decimal place value, how to find the percent of a number, how to round decimal numbers, the attributes of geometric solids, and more.
How to get the most out of Saxon Math 7/6, Part One with Monica Breier:
-
First, read the course materials below before the first class meeting.
-
Then have a notebook, compass, protractor, ruler, graph paper, and scientific calculator ready and available for class notes each live and recorded session.
-
Watch that week’s recording if you need to revisit information from our live session.
-
Do the assignments, quizzes, and any extra work assigned for that week.
-
Once the course is completed to the parent's and professor’s satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.

Course Description: Building upon the principles taught in Saxon Math 6/5, the Saxon Math 7/6 textbook introduces functions and coordinate graphing, integers, exponential expressions, and prime factorization. Students will specifically learn about the order of operations, number lines, decimal place value, how to find the percent of a number, how to round decimal numbers, attributes of geometric solids, and more.
Lessons contain a warm-up (with facts practice, mental math, & problem-solving exercises); introduction to the new concept, lesson practice exercises where the new skill is practiced, and mixed practice exercises, which includes 25-30 old and new problems. In-depth "Investigations" are provided every 10 lessons, and have their own set of questions.
