I've been guiding my daughter through this book, and wow! It's so thorough. Everything is explained clearly, and there is plenty of practice. This is a spiral curriculum, so the concepts learned keep coming back over and over and don't give the student a chance to forget.
I'm so happy with this curriculum, and so grateful it was here when I needed it! I would absolutely choose it again.
Technically I did finish this book this year so I can add it to my 2020 reading challenge hehe........ Yeh I’m so desperate I’m putting my school books on my shelves.........
Saxon math works exceptionally well for some people. Some of the popular features: mental math sections with each chapter, very reader-oriented lessons and explanations, very structured, "spiral" approach where each lesson has problems covering that lesson followed by problems covering that lesson and previous lessons.
Saxon can be very dry, it is not a colorful text and there isn't much for visual learners, it is very text heavy. Parents need to keep on top of regular grading and review of concepts not understood.
I used this textbook when I was homeschooling in 5th grade, and I liked it! It reviews subjects so you don't forget them and most lessons aren't boring but fun.
Brandon just finished this. He really liked it. We purchased another book after this, but he does not like it, so now having to go purchase the next Saxon instead. Oh well, live and learn.
