Category Description for Saxon Math
Students like Saxon because they feel successful in math instead of overwhelmed.
The most popular homeschooling math program hands down! Highly recommended by both Mary Pride and Cathy Duffy, Saxon Math also wins our award for the "Most Requested Text." Saxon math is a "user-friendly" math program - even for Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus and other usually difficult math topics. Learning is incremental and each new concept is continuously reviewed, so the learning has time to "sink in" instead of being forgotten when the next topic is presented. Higher scores on standardized tests and increased enrollments in upper-level math and science classes have resulted where Saxon has been used in public schools. Students like Saxon because they feel successful in math instead of overwhelmed. Because of the format, children are able to work more independently.
Category Description for Saxon Middle School Programs
Saxon Math is a user-friendly math program that takes an incremental approach – teaching a new mathematical concept every day while
constantly reviewing previously covered concepts in “mixed practice”
problem sets. The learning has time to sink in instead of being forgotten when the next topic is presented. Children can work more
independently beginning with 4th grade– there are no manipulatives
or teacher editions; information is directed to the student within the
student text. Lesson Reference Numbers are placed by each mixed
practice problem in the student text so students can easily refer to
the lesson(s) where they first learned the concept. A solution manual
takes you step-by-step from the initial problem to the solution, which is a
big help, especially in the higher levels.
Featuring the same methodology as previous editions plus enhanced mathematical content, Homeschool Kits contain a non-consumable student edition textbook, consumable tests and worksheets for one student, and a solutions manual. All three components of the Homeschool Kit come softbound. The Student Edition Text uses a two-color page layout, as opposed to the black and white pages of prior editions. Tests and Worksheets include a significant amount of fact drill practice, course tests, as well as various forms for recording student progress. Solutions Manual contains solutions to all problems in the text and tests.
