SAXON ALGEBRA 1, 3RD EDITION STUDENTS WHO PASSED THE PLACEMENT TEST:
There are about 20 geometry concepts taught in Shormann Algebra 1, that were not taught in Saxon. To bridge this gap and better prepare you for Algebra 2, we have created the Geometry Prep Lessons. You can access these in the eLearning course, after purchasing Shormann Algebra 2.
