Category Description for Saxon Geometry
Here it is! The long-awaited homeschool edition of Saxon Geometry. Since the release of the program for public school, we have been receiving phone calls wanting to know when it would be available for homeschool. Harcourt has listened and here it is. The wait has not been in vain as this program is as good and solid as the other Saxon math programs.
The hardcover Geometry student text includes all topics in a high school geometry course using the Saxon methodology of incremental development and continual review. Some of the topics covered include triangle congruence, postulates and theorems, surface area and volume, two-column proofs, vector addition, and slopes and equations of lines. There are 120 lessons divided into 12 sections, 12 Investigations, and 15 Labs in the student text. The table of contents is color-coded according to the math strands incorporated into each lesson.
To help students understand the flow of a lesson, the first lesson has yellow highlighted teaching boxes to explain the different elements that will be present in each lesson. Each lesson begins with a 'Warm-Up' in which students are given the skills and vocabulary which are prerequisite to this lesson. 'New Concepts' presents the new vocabulary with meanings and examples of the concepts along with solutions. 'Lesson Practice' lets students check to see if they understand the new concept and italicized reference numbers help students know what example demonstrated the concept for that problem. The 'Practice' section is where students practice new and old concepts together. Italicized numbers in this section refer to the lesson in which the concept is taught. This mixed practice serves as a good practice for state tests since the format is similar.
Some added features make this book very user friendly. The skills bank found in the back of the book highlights 22 different skills used in the lessons and are referenced by small numbers (ex. SB10) found throughout the warm-up and practice sections. For quick reference there are 6 pages of symbols, formulas, metric and customary measure, and properties, along with 2 pages of postulates and theorems. An extensive glossary rounds out the reference section. Pages of the text have very wide margins and occasionally the student will be given 'Hint,' 'Math Reasoning,' 'Math Language,' or even 'Caution' boxes with additional information for the lesson.
The Solutions Manual offers step-by-step solutions for all of the problems found in the student text. The Test Forms & Test Answers include tests to be taken each week along with a testing schedule. Solutions for test problems are found in the last half of this booklet. An Adaptations Workbook is now available, which provides an alternative for students with special needs. This consumable workbook contains adapted versions of the practice problems found in the student text, with plenty of space provided for working the problems in the workbook. The adapted problems offer more visual prompts and clues for doing the problems.
The question is, "How does Saxon Geometry compare to other geometry programs?" When you compare Saxon to Jacobs Geometry and BJU Geometry, you get a pretty good picture of the type of program Saxon has published. All 3 programs are comparable, covering the important topics that should be found in a strong geometry program. A good, solid introduction to trigonometry is also included in all 3, but Saxon includes a little more practice in this area.
With the release of the Saxon Geometry, you now have two different ways to complete your high school math. For the non-college bound student or the student who doesn't wish to pursue a math or science degree, use Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Advanced Math if you want or need a fourth year of math. If your student is college-bound in the area of math or science or they just really love math, use Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Advanced Math, and Calculus, and your geometry will be covered by the content found in these texts.
The Homeschool Kit includes the student text, solutions manual, and test forms and answers. The Homeschool Packet is just the test forms and answers. - Donna

Saxon Geometry is an AWFUL Product
I am so disappointed in this product. I am shocked at the rave reviews. These books are filled with errors. Fortunately, I am strong in math so I can figure out the Saxon mistakes. However, it has me second guessing myself and my son a lot. Literally there is some sort of outright error or a problem/answer poorly written in nearly every lesson. Rainbow Resource has been helpful in trying to track down errata, but there doesn't seem to be any. The publisher has not been any help. I will most likely switch products mid year. In the 12 years that I have been homeschooling I have never had to switch products mid year.

Not what I thought
I like that they have the lesson number that they learned it from by their problem. I like that the answer keys show how to do the problem. What we don't like is when you have to tell the reason for it, I understand that they know the reason BUT when are a mom who did terrible in Algebra 1 alone it makes it hard. I would rather have problems to figure out, that I can do. He wants to get A's so he works really hard at figuring it out. I'm thankful that I have a daughter that can help when she is off work, but her mind is tired from work to help him as much as he needs it. I should of dug deeper on my research.

Clear, thorough instruction.
Though our son is now in school, we bought this formula because his teacher wasnt using a text book and he was lost. Using Saxon Geometry and having some help from an older sibling, weve seen a complete turn around!

Why did you choose this?
Is this NOT aligned with common core standards like the other homeschool editions? I'm hoping so.
This is the "school" version and will reflect the standards, however, without the teacher guide, it is not "really" taught completely in the CCS methodology.
In the 3rd edition, geometry is incorporated into Alg 1, Alg 2, and Advanced Math.
Some parent will choose Jacobs Geometry to insert between 3rd edition Algebra 1 and 2.
Hi, Is geometry a prerequisite for Algebra 2?
usually people and schools do algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2. I actually taught my daughter algebra 1, algebra 2, then geometry. After finishing geometry she recommended I didn’t do that for my son, she said geometry explained in a more simple fashion about sin cosine abs tangent that she feels would’ve been more helpful before algebra 2
Does the test book (with solutions) come separately for Saxon Geometry?
Hi, We are able to carry the test book separately https://www.rainbowresource.com/proddtl?id=000969&subject=Mathematics/10&category=Saxon+Geometry/7830, but not the solution manual.
does saxon geometry only have a 1st edition?
Yes, that is correct. The most recent of Saxon Geometry is the 1st edition.
it always is the easiest and simplest method to learn by.
it was the only option available. I only needed the hardcover book.
This book was rexommended by our homeschool co-op.
My daughter has completed the 4th editions of Saxon Algebra I and II for her 9th and 10th grade years so moving on to Geometry for 11th grade! I have been so happy with the spiral methodology used in…
