Our children used Saxon from 54 to 87, then moved on to advanced math, calculus and physics and they have excelled with this method. Although my background doesn't include an emphasis in math, my husband's education and professional life is steeped in mathematics. He's enthusiastic about Saxon because it creates a strong foundation in the subject.
Admittedly, solving 30+ problems a lesson can be a challenge, however, this process increases one's speed and accuracy over time and as my ... Read More
Rating: - Saxon Books are Great!
I have noticed a general theme here. The people who enjoy Saxon Math products seem to be highly educated themselves and tend to value a traditional mathematics education as the foundation for success in life, especially if they rely heavily upon mathematics in their professional lives. The people who don't like it seem to have arguments like, "it's boring" or "it's not fair." You can't put on a clown suit every day and make everything fun all the time. Like or not, there is much repetition and ... Read More
Rating: - New to Saxon
I am new to saxon as well as to homeschooling . I recently bought this book. I only give it four stars because I have not yet proven it with my children. The book appears to be very well done. The reviewer who complained about the use of words like "some and some more",and "larger,smaller ,and difference", did not look very closely at the book.

Rating:  - "Some, some more"??
My son is currently using this text in the fourth grade, and I was appalled when I flipped through his book the other day. Instead of seeing simple, common terminology such as "add" or "subtract", I saw "some, some more" and "larger, smaller, difference". What this book has done is take basic concepts that are familiar to nine-year-olds and convoluted them, apparently trying to make simple tasks even easier. With books like these, which fail to use standard terminology, it's no wonder that America's ... Read More
Rating: - Saxon IS best! :o)
We started homeschooling with Saxon. Strayed over the years, as there are so many different math programs out there for homeschoolers to try! But guess where we ended-up?! Yep, back with Saxon Math! It is absolutely wonderful! :o) I don't have experience with the newer 3rd editions, but the 2nd edition has suited us just fine! :o) We plan to stick with it now...no need to stray again! LOL! :o)
