[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone tell me about the difference between the standard math curriculuum at Latin and BASIS? I know they both use Saxon Math and at BASIS, "normal" kids start with Saxon 8/7 in 5th grade. What does Latin start with and if the courses are different, does anyone know how they compare? I looked up the different books/courses on the Saxon website and I can't really tell.  Finally, someone posted that Saxon incorporates geometry into the math curriculuum over several years so students don't take it as a separate class. On Latin's website, however, it looks like students do take a separate year of Geometry. [/quote]

Saxon math has different editions of their math texts. The editions that BASIS uses incorporates Geometry across Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus (Advanced Mathematics).

The other, newer editions of Saxon Math do not incorporate geometry and therefore a separate geometry course would be required. John Saxon, the author of Saxon math believed geometry should be incorporated across several texts as explained in the article I referenced above.[/quote]
