Supplemental Word Problems?

[Melanie]

My son is in 8th grade and is working through Saxon Algebra 2. He is doing well, but I'm looking for a supplemental resource to provide him with extra word problems. Singapore's Primary Challenging Word Problems 6 is too easy, but I'm not finding a similar book for older students. Does anyone have any suggestions?

The same author has Algebra I and Algebra II word problem books for students.

Also, Singapore 6B challenging word problems has good ones, including a section of algebra.
