Question: is saxon algebra 1/2 necessary?
Answer: The only time we recommend Algebra 1/2 is if a student struggles in Math 8/7. The main difference between Algebra 1/2 and 8/7 is that the 8/7 has more foundational math like fractions, decimals, and percents. Algebra 1/2 has more pre-algebra concepts. Typically, students do not struggle with the algebra.
