Worst calculus curriculum available
I cannot stress to not purchase this curriculum. It's absolutely awful for teaching. They do not show you how to solve the problems in the practice questions, and barely explain the concepts in the lessons. For example the derivatives lesson did not teach the power rule. It did not explain how to use limits merely thrust them upon you in practice lessons in later chapters. The tests either ask you to solve problems that were never discussed in the book or are laughable easy. In certain problems while trying to back track to figure out how to solve it you would realize that the only way to get a solution was for a number to magically become a zero. The book is riddled with errors and only frustrates not teaches. If your looking for a better calc book for 11-12 graders I'd recommend online resources, anything except this book.

Hated Saxon Math until I didn't
Each time I looked at Saxon math I found it repulsive. It just seemed all over the place. How could anyone learn like that I would think. Well, I have now learned through experience that Saxon is perfect for many students. First, it is rather thorough especially matched with DIVE. One of my children just needed loads of practice and frequent review for topics to stick. Some kids hate that, but it was finally peace for one of mine. Saxon isn't easier or thin in concepts, but it is a different approach. Don't be like me and be a math snob. I wish I had switched my son years ago. Better late than never ,though. The Calculus book will take 1.5 semesters to complete likely. Time everything to start by Jan of 11th grade if you would like to finish the book and take the CLEP exam.

Why did you choose this?
We have used Saxon Math since kindergarten. I have slightly tweaked it to how my daughter learns, so it works well for her. I plan to use it through Calculus. I choose the older editions because I…
Next level in Saxon Math. Have been using it for years.
Looking for a Calculus program that is incremental with much practice and review.
Saxon Math is the best curriculum I have come across. I would highly recommend it to anyone!
