Saxon Math 3 Teacher Manual?

[Mapi]

Do I need it? This is my first year homeschooling dd9. Just wondering if I should buy it? TIA! :)

Yes. It has all of the lessons and concepts in it. Have you had your dd take the Saxon placement test? If not, make sure you do so she's placed at the correct level.

Thanks for your input. I did do the placement. Not sure how accurate it is considering she's been on a brain break all summer though. We'll see.

This is my 1st year homeschooling. I am using Saxon math 3. The teacher's manual has a lot of info that you go over that is not in the student handbook.

FYI...it starts out very easy. It's reviewing simple couting, days of the week, months of the year, measuring, and simple word problems. It's easy to step into after a break. That will give you some time to get used to the format and your daughter time to turn her brain back on!

We are on our 5th day. I am very used to it and very comfortable using it with my son. Day 1 was a little slow. But I would highly reccomend it!

Best of luck!

Thanks, Emily!
I really appreciate getting a real life perspective considering my daughter was in tears as I administered the MUS pretest for Gamma. She couldn't remember how to do double digit multiplication and became very frustrated.

I think we will get the Saxom 3 TM today at the bookfair and do that for a while before I add MUS.

Thanks again,
:)
