Re: the Saxon Extend and Challenge Activities

I just got a call back from the rep at Saxon. If you go to http://saxonpublishers.hmhco.com/en/sxnm_primary.htm and click on the link at the lower right for the K-5 Technology Demo, it is supposed to include a demo of the Extend and Challenge stuff. (I probably won't have time to look at it tonight.)

In addition, she said that if your school is using the 3rd (most recent) Edition of Saxon Math, there is also a Guide to Differentiated Instruction that could be made available to the teachers. She said it is probably priced separately as are the Extend and Challenge Activities. The guide mentioned is supposed to provide ideas for each day's lessons to meet the needs of kids at every level -- those who need more assistance as well as those who need more challenge.
