Glad I made this Choice
Had given this curriculum consideration for 3 years and finally purchased it to 5/4. It is perfect for my student who is very on point and doesn't care for colorful pictures in Math. Very detailed. Love the review of concepts.

Much better, less frustration all around.
My daughter is doing better with this than she was with Singapore 3A/3B. Spiral rather than mastery works for her. Ship time was quick which I appreciate.

Uncomplicated, open and go
Straight forward math with constant review of previous lessons. Each lesson is an introduction to one new concept at a time. The curriculum is simple and easy to use - minimal preparation needed. I love that it Comes with tracking and grading sheets, and master copies for lesson worksheets. I give it four stars and not five for two reasons: 1) I would like to see more real-world application of the concepts. 2) the lessons are very basic with minimal explanation - an accompanying (secular) video option with more elaboration would be nice for the math-challenged or visual student.

Solid math curriculum
This is my first time using Saxon Math and so far I have been very happy with it. It is concise, builds nicely on previously learned material, gives practice on skills to maintain them but does not overload my child with work. The explanations are clear and easy to understand. I'm happy with this purchase!

Best math curriculum I've ever found.
Excellent for children with autism. Previous lesson concepts are repeated and reiterated with each new lesson along with the new lesson material. It is essentially like a continued review throughout the text

Great book for 4th grade
My daughter is doing so much better in Math since I switched her curriculum. She struggled at the end of the 3rd grade year with Math U See. Saxon goes much more in depth to explain and give examples every lesson. The spiral incremental approach is very helpful. This is making our first homeschool year easier
