    Perfect refresher for mom and makes much less stressful learning for daughter. Step by step explanation for EVERY problem, follows the book exactly so easy to find what you need. Unless you are already a math wiz, this should be REQUIRED!. Daughter watches example problem then attempts practice problem and can watch the solutions for any missed ones. Love this!

    We have used, and loved, Saxon Math for homeschool at the elementary level. But we do NOT like the Saxon Algebra text, because the explanations are inadequate, and there are no supplemental practice problems to reinforce the lessons. Both teacher and student were becoming very confused, until I bought the Saxon Teacher CD. Lessons on the CD provide more thorough explanations than the text, and every problem set is explained in a step by step fashion that make the solution more understandable. Only complaint about the product is that it's not possible to enlarge the whiteboard when in full-screen mode.

    When it comes to Algebra, that was a long time ago! This resource gives you the step-by-step answers to all the practice set, problem set, and test questions. This is great for a teacher as it lets you review the work and how to do each problem if YOU are stumped by you child asking how an answer was arrived at. Save your money on the solutions manual and buy this instead!

    If your children need help in math, but you can't afford a tutor than this is the product for you! I bought it because I didn't have time to explain to my son how to do all of the problems he missed. He now watches those problems on Saxon Teacher. I am very pleased with this product. CBD's price is very reasonable.

    My child is excelling in Algebra because of Saxon Teacher! The teacher is very easy to follow as she goes over each lesson. The program can be paused, rewinded and fast forwarded. Overall very worth the cost.

    My son was struggling to understand some of the concepts in the book alone. These CDs are just what he needed. He now understands when he misses a problem what he did wrong. She explains each problem in detail and has a short instruction also to explain each new concept. The explanations are very thorough. Highly recommend this product.

    My daughter is reluctant when it comes to math. We had switched from Saxon to an online program where it was worked out in front of her but her overall retention wasn't very good. I'm happy to say that we're back to Saxon and with the addition of the Teacher videos she's doing better and retaining the information. She can replay the example as many times as she needs to and they all follow the book.

    The teacher talks a little slow, but my daughter is learning how to show her work a lot better than with my tutoring. She likes using the CD's 'cause she can go at her own pace. I just keep the test answers CD hidden from her. (-:

    Great Product! So nice to have a teacher presentation that you can rewind as many times as you need to. You can also skip to any lesson at any time. The best part is the test question review...if the student needs help with a concept...the teacher works the problem and reinforces the concept.

    We are finding this CD set to be extremely helpful. My son is very good at math and grasps concepts quickly, however occasionally we're just at a loss for how to solve a problem. Once he sees the problem worked out he gets it. This CD set has saved us from many, many headaches and much frustration. I will definitely be purchasing these for higher mathematics courses and hope they are available until he graduates!

    We had worked with the D.I.V.E. math program with our Saxon algebra 1/2, she did OK, but my daughter struggled with Algebra 1. I bought the Saxon teaching dvds half way through our year, and WOW, she is rolling along quickly, ALL problems are explained, lessons are precise. If your student can't figure out a problem, the DVD has ALL problems and test problems explained on a 'blackboard' for thorough explanation! WOW. Gets FIVE STARS. Get the Saxon teaching dvd with your home school kit. Pass on the D.I.V.E. You'll thank me.

    Very disappointing. Barely helpful in explaining how to do problems. The lesson instructions for new materials presented is very poor! The lesson problems are worked out but VERY LITTLE EXPLANATION OF THE REASONING OF THE STEPS IS GIVEN. In addition, the "teacher's" voice is very mousy and irritating. I purchased the Algebra 2 and Advanced Math CD's and within the first day or two of the school year, my kids (9th and 11th) switched back to D.I.V.E. There are no answers to the problems on the D.I.V.E. CD (the No. 1 reason why I tried Saxon Teacher), but they have much, much better instruction.

    This product is absolutley the best! Math is a very difficult subject to teach, the teacher CD's make it so much easier to understand. We are so very blessed to have saxon educational products to purchase to aid in teaching our children.
