Advanced Math Part B Honors
Advanced Math Part B continues the Saxon methodology of spiral learning. Students who plan to take calculus, physics, or even social sciences will benefit from taking this course.
This is the second part of Advanced Mathematics book will require 2 years to complete (4 full semesters – 1st year:
Lessons 1 – 60 Part A, 2nd year:
Lessons 61 – 125 Part B).
There are 125 lessons. We will complete Lessons 61 – 125 this year as well as Tests 15 – 30 as Part 2.
The lessons are incremental and provide in-depth coverage of trigonometry, logarithms, analytic geometry, and upper-level algebraic concepts. Topics include continuation of Sinusoid Evaluations, Matrices, Determinants, Percentiles and Z Scores, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, Cramer’s Rule, DeMoivre’s Theorem, extensive Trigonometric Identities, Rational Roots Theorem, Descartes’ Rule of Signs, Piecewise Function and Graphs that contain holes, and much more!
Pre-requisite: Grade of B or better in Advanced Math A Lessons 1 – 60
FIRST TIME STUDENTS: The Diagnostic Test must be taken and submitted before your placement in the course will be confirmed.
NOTE: For transcripts – please title this class “Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus” after students have completed Advanced Mathematics lessons 61-125.
Parental Involvement: Parents should verify that their students are completing their math assignments daily, grading the work. If a student falls behind, parents must notify the teacher and work together to help the student catch up.
Same materials from Advanced Math Part A
1) Saxon Advanced Mathematics, 2nd Edition Textbook (ISBN 1565770390)
2) Homeschool Packet – includes solutions to tests (front), simple answers to problem sets (back) (ISBN: 1-565771591 – Home Study Packet; ISBN: 156577485X – Answer Book)
3) Test Forms (ISBN: 1-565771605)
4) Solutions Manual.(ISBN: 978-1-564770423)
(PLEASE NOTE: Solutions Manual is a MUST! It features solutions to all textbook problem sets. Early lessons will show every step. Later lessons omit obvious steps. Final answers will be in bold type.)
5) Scientific Calculator – Graphing Calculator is optional (Can find free ones online)
Recommended:
6) DIVE Saxon Advanced instructional video (optional, but strongly recommended). Lessons are taught step-by-step on a digital whiteboard. DIVE uses the same concepts as Saxon but not the same problems as the text; therefore, it cannot be used as a solutions guide.
Can purchase Homeschool Kit, which includes Textbook, Test booklet and Answer Key
DOES NOT include Solutions Manual
