Love it. Third year using this with my students. Very easy to teach and follow for both teacher and students.

Saxon Intermediate 3 Math is written to and for the student. The student begins with the daily power up section wich is a review of math facts and concepts taught in previous lessons. The. The students move to the new concepts and has several examples to understand the new concepts. The student has a lesson review to go over the new material that was just learned. Lastly the student completes the workbook practice which is a review of previous lessons and the new concept.
This is a spiral approach . This curriculum also uses manipulatives and is great for kids with multisensory learning. My son is ADHD/ODD and is doing so much better with this curriculum. We did purchase the separate workbook ( which has the same problems is the text book) so that he would not have to copy the problems down on a separate piece of paper.

I love Saxon math, its a fantastic way to determine whether your child has learned the math concepts by doing mixed lesson practice at the end of each lesson. I know I can count on each lesson to challenge my kids memory from all lessons they have worked on from the beginning of the book.

Great math curriculum for kids to do independently
We zoomed through the first 10 chapters our first 2 weeks. Its simple enough for my kids to tackle without much help, but theyre learning a lot of the basics theyd been missing before we started homeschool. Highly recommend!

Great for an independent math curriculum
My son loves this curriculum. He did lesson 100 today so he is almost done with the book. At the beginning, he did the Power Up workbook but then it got to be too much so we stopped it. He only did the practice problems in the book and there are usually 15-20 of them per lesson. We never ordered the Practice Book because it was never necessary. He does math 3-4 days a week and it's worked out great. This curriculum has a great way of making the student skip count and then eventually memorizing the facts without much effort. I have him do the lesson and then he tells me what he's learned in the lesson and then check his work. The Solutions manual isn't all that great and there are some errors. It tells you to "see student work" so I have to get the book to see what the directions told my student to do. It would be so much easier if the book just wrote "student draws a rectangle 3 in long by 1 in tall" as an example. It's a minor irritation but it does get annoying. We did eventually go back to doing the Power Up Workbook because the drill and mental math sections are fantastic. My child does the Power Up workbook about every 2-3 lessons and that is working out great. I just gave my child a practice test for a standardized test and he got a 100% out of 68 math questions. My child has requested do level 4 next year and we will continue with this series. It is a spiral method of learning so they teach a new concept but the questions also cover everything else your child has learned in the book up to that point. There are tests every 5 lessons and I love that the book lets the student know what chapter a concept was taught in for each practice problem so if they are having trouble, they can easily go to that chapter and look it up. I love that math is an independent subject except for me checking his answers. I highly recommend this solid math curriculum.

Some errors in solution manual
I am very pleased with the Saxon Int. 3 program. It suits my daughter and she is excelling in her studies. I am only a bit disappointed with the solutions manual. There are many errors in the solutions manual. For example, many times the text will list a problem for the student to solve in cents. The solution will list the problem and answer in dollars. Many of the discrepancies are of little consequence and easy to identify. It would just be nice not to have to correct my solutions book so frequently.

Saxon math has saved my daughter. I had to pull her out of school and homeschool for various reasons, math was a big one. While she was very behind in math, Saxon does an excellent job at getting her caught up. Although a lot of the information included should have been taught the past two years, Saxon takes their time in re-teaching and building upon knowledge as you go. Complete the power-ups because they help with memorization of facts. Each written practice covers only what has been previously taught in this book this year. Quizes only cover what has been taught in previous chapters this year (and include where they were taught, so you can go back to re-teach if necessary). Someone else stated this kit doesn't include the written practice workbook however this is NOT necessary as the written practice problems are all INCLUDED in the text. Simply make photo copies of text pages, or have your child write their answers and show their work on lined paper. The only thing I sort of wish I had was an actual teacher text, but it's totally doable without it. Go to Saxon's website (hmhco) to find additional links to online resources that go with the text as well. It's not a super organized math program, as there's not a teaching textbook included - but everything you really need is available in this kit, and more if you search online.

Just wanted to mention that the name of this package is somewhat deceiving It states it is a COMPLETE kit but does not include the written practice workbook

I like it
We have done Saxon Math (homeschool version with the script) and my kids learned really well from it, but I need to move away from the heavily scripted version towards a version my daughter can do on her own.
