Student Workbook
You could get away with just ordering the Student workbook. I love that here is a lot of repetition and the assessments are built in.

Great curriculum!
Enjoying this curriculum with my 3rd grader. Shes asking to do math now over the other subjects. I like that its interactive and she seems to be at ease, not frustrated like previous years when we were doing McGraw Hill.

This math, with the manipulatives, has made my daughter love doing math. I'm glad we found this math and switched.

Excellent!
My 9 year old daughter is not a fan of numbers despite trying every exciting math curriculum out there. We find that she makes the most progress with Saxon because it is not overwhelming due to being so incremental. We use Nichole the Math Lady online videos to teach the main lesson and then she can usually complete the math worksheets with ease on her own. So not a super exciting curriculum, but definitely a great fit for a solid math education for your reluctant students!

Liking Saxon K-3
Just what it says: incremental developement of mathematics. I do occassionally bring additional visual aids into a lesson if my son doesn't catch on to a new concept right away.

Saxon Math 3
We love Saxon Math. It is all from booklets with easily pull out pages. The lessons are easy to follow and there is no wasted time as with many computer math lessons. The kids love Saxon also. I feel they are learning much more and it helps that we keep reviewing past lessons while learning new material. Not only does this help build mastery, it is definitely building their confidence.

Why did you choose this?
I can not find the answer key to the math drills. Does anyone know where to find them?
To my disappointment, I’ve never seen a key to the drill sheets. It would save time and let the students grade themselves, but I don’t think it’s provided by Saxon- at least not for grades 1-3.
My daughter is in 4th grade, I am not sure if 5/4 is a good fit or if I should do 3rd grade? She struggles in math. Coming from public school she has not learned division
Hi, Thanks for the question. You will want to have your daughter take the placement test located at the top of this link. Primary covers grades K-3 concepts and Middle School covers grades 4-8. https://www.rainbowresource.com/hSearch.jhtm?keyword=math+placement+tests
On average, how long does a lesson usually take?
If you do everything from start to finish it would take 45-60 minutes. I usually cherry pick some of the warm up/reviews in the beginning to shorten it and tend to skip some of the activities of the lesson if I can teach the concept in a simple way (for example one day she has to have a pretend store to grasp the concept of money, I would just write on the paper instead of having her put prices on stuffed animals but tell the same story... I have 3 other kids so I don't have time to make it fun) and in a few cases it would take only half hour. I consider my kids rather good at math, though not very quick, so the worksheets generally take them less than 20 minutes. On bad days, though, if you include the worksheets it might run longer than an hour if you did everything exactly as it is laid out.
Where are the meeting strips?
The meeting strips are/can be used with the daily warm-ups. There is a space for the problem of the day, which you need to write out ahead of time and if I remember correctly, the daily pattern from the warm-up. As the course progresses, the strips may change in content, adding coin counting.
Is this common core aligned?
The Saxon Math 3 materials have a 1994 copyright. Accordingly, they were produced long before Common Core (2012). If there is any alignment, it is accidental.

is this meant for homeschool children ?
I used Saxon 3 math 2 years ago. It worked very well for homeschooling my 3rd grader. He did very well in his math scores on CAT for 3 rd grade required for PA. I love teaching with this curriculum. I do remember borrowing some math manipulative from the library. I hope this helps. I have been homeschooling for 20 years and have never considered switching to another math curriculum.
What exactly is in this kit? Does it come with the fact cards?
Yes, the Home Study Kit - #018401 - includes the fact cards (along with the Teacher Manual, Student Workbook, and Meeting Book).
What edition is this?
Saxon Math 3 is the first edition. There is a newer edition found in the public schools but the homeschool kit is the first edition with an early 90's copyright.
Hi where do I find the manipulatives for saxon math 3? I am purchasinging the Saxon math 3 homeschool edition
We carry manipulatives kits for all levels of Saxon Math K-3. They can be found here: http://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?subject=Mathematics/10&category=Math+3+Manipulative+Kits/2084
We are sticking with Saxon for our homeschooling needs. It provides excellent lessons and explanations that help my as the teacher and my kids.
Doing MoDG homeschooling, part of curriculum.
We have been using Saxon since first grade.
because I intend to use saxon math through highschool and thought 3rd grade would be a good year to get used to the lesson patterns.
