the BEST of the Best math books around

The Saxon books are some of the best that I have ever used. I used Saxon books throughout all of my honors classes in highschool. Considering my scores on placement tests, I was place into Calculus III at the beginning of my freshman year at the University of Iowa. These books did wonders for me. The methods employed by Saxon books are sound. The books get students to examine all sorts of different ways to attempt problems. With the progressive method of learning, students learn the formulas, equations, and ideas by heart. Two thumbs way up for Saxon!

Excellent Math Book

Have used Saxon Math for 3 years. I have a gifted math student in public school. He is in accelerated math and at the top of the class. Saxon math helped him to get an edge. I would highly recommend this book.

Incremental steps makes math easy!

We started using the Saxon Math 76 book when we began homeschooling our son this year. The flexibility of the book allowed us to skip lessons until we reached my son's level; which was about a third of the way through. From that point on my son, independantly, went through two lessons per day. When people ask him why he likes being homeschooled, he says "Well, for one thing, I'm finally learning new things." Saxon 76 allowed us to go at his pace, sometimes slowly, sometimes skipping entire lessons. In September we will be starting with Saxon Algebra 1/2. I highly recommend the Saxon series for any student. It is a great review and would be a great help to parents working with their kids on their homework. John Saxon makes the major concepts easier to grasp by breaking them down into their component parts and teaching each a step at a time. (Even I am finally understanding some of these concepts!)With all that said and as noted in previous reviews, make sure you know which edition you are getting and, if you are also obtaining the answer/test booklet, make sure it is for the same edition.

Will help advance your children beyond their grade-level

Saxon Math is a great curriculum! The earlier you can begin in this math series, the better. I have a fourth grade child who is in sixth grade math. This has definitely benefited all three of my children. Be aware, though, that Saxon has different editions available due to revisions. Be sure you know what edition you have or want.

Saxon Math books are the easiest to use and produce results!

Both of my homeschooled children were taught using Saxon Math since they entered forth grade. We used the series through the pre-algebra textbook. It is a programmed series, building fact upon fact giving the child a good grounding in the basics. My children were able to work on the course independently. When they chose to return to public school, they both tested into the 8th grade honors Algebra I program. I've noticed they are far less calculator dependent than their peers. I plan to purchase Saxon's Algebra I course for my child to use to supplement our school system's poorly written textbook.
