 Quality Homeschool Math CurriculumFeb 21, 2009
By Angela Phipps
"bookmom"
I am convinced that Saxon Math is the best math curriculum on the market. Math 1 starts from the very beginning and moves along at a good pace--not too fast, not too slow. The daily review and math facts really help to cement the knowledge in their heads. I did a very informal Kindergarten approach with my son before starting Saxon in grade 1 and it was a perfect fit, but if you have done more with your child in grade K, you may want to skip some lessons to find a good fit. I also feel that the grade 1 set may be useful to begin in grade K and work through it slowly through first grade too. You can provide more practice with "playing store" and all the fun math manuipulatives exercises that get my kids excited about learning! I feel that lots of review is better than racing through material and assuming the child has learned it well. I also use Saxon for an older child and love it as well.

Hands down the best math program!Jul 04, 2009
By Miss Nelson
This is the best math program I've ever used. I'm a former school teacher and have used several math programs. Nothing has been as simple for children to learn and I'm now using it with my own child. There is so much review, which can sometimes seem monotonous to adults, but for children, it's exactly what they need. The concepts are presented in the most simplistic format, one small piece at a time. They are able to achieve mastery with one task before they move on to the next new concept. This does so much for their self-esteem and, I believe, builds in children a confidence in their math abilities that can last a lifetime. Some criticize Saxon for so much daily review, that their children become bored, but the truth is, you can always move faster through the program for children who are able. I plan to use Saxon math all the way through with my child.

A solid foundationApr 06, 2010
By L. Saad
This math program provides a solid, basic foundation in math. I like the way that it integrates all different math skills throughout the year instead of isolating geometry, addition, subtraction, measurement, etc. by chapter. We have skipped lessons because they are too elementary for my seven year old. The meeting book is nice to have for keeping up with calendar, weather, and number lines. The series provides review constantly so the child is expected to remember skills learned previously. We will continue to use Saxon Math next year.

First time homeschool experianceFeb 20, 2010
By J. Dement
While my son had been attending kindergarten until the semester break this year, the Saxon website placement exam directed us to the Level 1 curriculum. It was a perfect match as far as abilities and learning levels are concerned. We love that the worksheets have a side "B" to do later in the day. Usually, he completes this side with his dad after he returns home from work. It's a great way to reinforce the lesson for my son, allows my son to demonstrate with pride to his dad was he has learned during the day and to keep my husband apprised with what our son has been learning at home all at the same time.

Saxon rules!Dec 07, 2010
By at home mom
I have used Saxon before with my older boys, but this is my first experience with the first grade program. My daughter is bored with what they are learning at school, and needed something more to do at home. Saxon is wonderful in that the amount of review in each lesson allows for them to be thoroughly confident in a subject area before they move on (the teacher's handbook will also tell you not to move on until your child has mastered a concept- unlike our school system that "shoves them through", regardless of their level of understanding). My daughter loves the manipulatives kit, and the "fun" aspects of learning built right into the program. I appreciate the scripted teacher's manual for me to use, which helps me to feel at ease when I sit down with her to work. I can see that we are going to get a lot of enjoyment out of our math learning this year!
