Dr. Shormann teaches every lesson and investigation in the Saxon textbook, including the essential instruction that is missing from the lesson in the textbook. Designed for schools, Saxon assumes the full lesson was presented in class. Therefore, the lesson in the Saxon text is only a summary for the student to review later. That's why John Saxon recommended an experienced instructor to teach his curriculum.
For example, when lesson 40 builds on a concept taught in lesson 20, the book doesn't mention it. However, in the DIVE lectures, Dr. Shormann reviews lesson 20, teaching how the new concept is simply adding one more step to what they already know. This creates "bite-sized" lessons that are easy to understand and makes learning Saxon faster and easier.

What else do I need?
Saxon Advanced Math, 2nd Edition Homeschool Kit
The edition of the DIVE lectures must match the edition of the Saxon books.
Covers permutations, combinations, trigonometric and inverse functions, conic sections, matrices and determinants, binomial theorem, rational roots, Euclidean geometry. 2nd edition.
Helpful for instruction when material exceeds parents' memory :)
Hope to use this second semester to support our math curriculum. Easier to display on TV than laptop.
I purchased because felt my son needed the additional instruction and practice problem review.
The DIVE CD really helped my daughter through Saxon Algebra II. With technology changing, we liked the idea of the streaming option, plus the benefit that we can use it for all of our kids.
