regarding Saxon's Geometry Requirements

Dear Mrs. Bortins,

The Saxon math series does not have a separate Geometry text. Geometry is fully integrated in our Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Advanced Mathematics texts. If students complete the Saxon Algebra 1, 2nd edition, and the Saxon Algebra 2, 2nd edition, then they would have covered all the material normally contained in a course on informal geometry.

Students completing the Saxon Advanced Mathematics text, with or without having gone through the Saxon Algebra 1, 2nd edition, and Algebra 2, 2nd edition, will have completed the equivalent of one full-year of plane geometry, one semester of trigonometry and one semester of advanced algebra/pre-calculus. The Advanced Mathematics text is normally covered in three or four semesters; however, exceptionally motivated and accelerated students can cover the text in two semesters. Even so, they should be provided with academic credit for four semesters.

Therefore, students completing the three text series Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Advanced Mathematics will have completed and fully covered all of secondary school mathematics and will be well prepared for a course on calculus.

If you should have further questions, do not hesitate to give us a call.

Sincerely,
Pam Grega
