Saxon Algebra 1 (4th Edition)

Saxon Algebra 1, 4th Edition is the classroom (school) edition of Saxon's first-year algebra course. Unlike the homeschool 3rd edition, most of the integrated geometry content moves into the separate Saxon Geometry course, so it fits the Algebra 1 → Geometry → Algebra 2 sequence used by most schools. Nicole the Math Lady provides video lessons and grading for the 4th edition across its 120 lessons and 12 investigations.
