Saxon Math 8/7 with Pre-algebra is an integrated mathematics program.
Topics covered include: measurement; estimation; real-world connections; word-problems; rate;
powers and roots; geometric proofs; scientific notation; graphing functions; quantitative
comparisons; balancing equations; transformation of formulas; literal equations; algebraic terms;
irrational numbers; factoring algebraic expressions; substitution; graphing linear equations and
inequalities; geometric construction; scale factor and indirect measure; similar and congruent
figures; data collection, display and analysis; probability and statistics.
This course utilizes Saxon Math 8/7 Text, Tests and Worksheets book, and CDs.
Each lesson has four parts: warm-up includes practice of basic facts and mental math to
improve speed and accuracy; new concept introduces a new mathematical concepts with
examples; lesson practice includes solving problems; and mixed practice, a review.
Supplemental practice may be used to strengthen concepts when needed. Student will receive
guided or direct instruction from the teacher as well as from the Saxon teacher CDs. With 120
total lessons and 12 activity-based Investigations, student will strive to complete 4 lessons per
week and 1 unit test after every 5 lessons.

For all learning activities, formative assessment will be conducted throughout the duration of the
course and noted in the monthly progress. Summative assessments will be scheduled as deemed
appropriate in content and skill areas where a summative assessment aids the teacher and parent
to determine the student’s progress. Timelines for student work samples and progress reviews
are outlined in the Learning Activities section of this learning plan. This student is on a
continuous progress, individualized assessment schedule that is reviewed and modified as
needed. The POD teacher is the certificated teacher responsible for the student’s WSLP,
including the on-going review of all on-site and off-site classes.
