Guest guest Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Don, I don't know if Saxon is the person's name that came up with this way of figuring or what.. I just know that it is a new way of figuring, my daughter had it in school, I couldn't figure it out...so, I showed her how to figure it the way I was taught and she got 1/2 point for each one for not showing her work "correctly" taken off. 2+2=4, I didn't think it mattered how you figure it to get the answer as long as it's correct, but now days, I guess it does. Of coarse, she was into Algebraic (sp?) problems...
