Saxon Math 2 Teacher’s Edition

To master mathematics, students need to build on prior learning—what new concepts they can learn depends on which concepts they already know. Saxon Math™ provides a learning structure proven to advance students steadily and assuredly to higher levels of understanding. Concepts from every math strand are woven together and connected throughout the year. Skills or concepts are reinforced, helping students build a strong foundation of understanding. An incremental approach gives students the time to understand and practice a small concept before adding the next step. Distributing skills across the year ensures that students have time to practice and master a concept. Cumulative practice and assessments cover ideas from earlier lessons to ensure students retain and make connections between concepts. Students build skills and confidence through daily opportunities to review, develop mathematical reasoning, and apply knowledge. Engaging manipulatives and hands-on learning tools help students develop and demonstrate understanding. In Saxon Math 2 students continue to build on the foundation laid in Saxon Math 1 by teaching critical concepts: larger numbers; geometric shapes; Venn diagrams; graphs; basic arithmetic calculations; skip counting; comparing numbers; solving problems; mastering all basic addition and subtraction facts; mastering multiplication to 5; adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers; measuring; perimeter and area; telling time to 5 minutes; identifying geometric shapes; identifying symmetry; identifying angles; and graphing.

This book contains 132 lessons to cover a full year of math.
