And if you've used Saxon Advanced Mathematics, do you still need this?

Where would this fit in the Saxon sequence? Has anybody seen/used this hands-on yet who could give a helpful analysis?

Thanks!

Bump. Please help if you can. I was going to order Saxon Advanced Math for dd who just finished Algebra II. But should I order geometry instead, and THEN Advanced? Or can I just order the Advanced and skip Saxon Geometry.

If you used the 'older' Algebra 1 and 2 programs that included Geometry then go with the older Advanced Math as it will finish up the Geometry component.

The newest editions of Algebra 1, Algebra 2 and Advanced Math have most of the Geometry taken out--for the new course.

I forgot which one (haven't had my caffeine yet), but a major public school purchased Saxon a few years ago and is morphing the program to fit the public school progression.

I think mine are the older versions - Algebra II is the orange & blue book - I bought them for my first child way back when (2001 or 2002). Back then there wasn't any Saxon Geometry.

Thanks for your help!!
