Horizons Math Grade 8 Algebra Teacher's Guide

I loved the elementary levels and was very happy to see the Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 just when I needed them. I found them (teacher's guides) for both levels very difficult to use. The pages with answers are 1/3 the size found in the students books making it very hard to see. They didn't show how they came up with answers so I had to figure out making it very time consuming. I used both for my two oldest children and felt no different giving it two years-hoping I would grow accustomed to them. Hopefully they will revise and correct these issues. The curriculum is advanced but without a good teachers guide, it makes it more difficult.
