High School Math Textbooks

Many home-school families use Saxon Math.  One advantage is the number of used materials available.  Our little household ran into a road block with Saxon Algebra.  We are using Glencoe Algebra instead.  When you buy older math books, get a copy of both the student and teacher edition.  I look for older editions, say 2003 or 2005.  Glencoe is widely used across the U.S. They are much cheaper and more available.  Math doesn’t change that much.  The wrap-around teacher edition has answers, tips, and pacing guides.  You’ll see New York, California, Indiana, and Florida editions.  Usually, this means the publisher has added the state standards for Algebra.  The textbook should be about the same.  Many of the Resource Masters for the textbooks are online.  Why?  Some schools are still using older math editions.  Want more good news?  These resource masters have answer keys and tests.  You’re welcome.
