Saxon Algebra 1/2 Homeschool Kit (3rd Edition)

Returned this text. Too much spiraled review vs. Actual teaching of new content. They need to better balance new vs. old content. Still a fan of Saxon but not this offering.

Saxon Math does an awesome job explaining math concepts and breaking things down in a simple to understand way. It reminds me of how my college Algebra teacher, who was from China, taught. After years of struggling, I finally understood Algebra! That's how amazed I am with Saxon Math. Math is math, but everything depends on HOW it's explained. My 6th grader has a talent for math (let's not talk about Grammar, though). He's proficient in so many concepts which placed him in Algebra 1/2, but he was also missing a few important things the public school skipped over. He was able to pick up this book and fill in the gaps, because the explanations are easy for him to follow. I'm so thankful the beginning of this book repeated every concept he should have already learned, or I wouldn't have known to spend extra time teaching him long division and decimals. Now that he's mastered those, he's continued on with the book, and is doing great. I will continue to use Saxon Math with him and his 1st grade brother, because I am that impressed! Oh, and his dad's happy, cause it was created by an Army vet. He calls it "Manly Math".

I absolutely love Saxon math curriculum.

It is well explained and we are enjoying how it is set up. I highly recommend it

I'm an overall fan of this curriculum. We just switched this year and I like it. I'm used to curriculum that has an answer key that matches the students paper with the answers written in. This is a bit confusing to grade.
