Reasons to Use Saxon Math for Homeschool?

All of the instruction is in the textbook for Math 54 and up

• All the instruction is in the lesson for you and your student.
• In the homeschool setting, you and your student can work through the lesson together
• Or your student can work independently, if he is capable, with your oversight.

Scripted Lessons for Teachers in Math K-3

• If you have never taught math before and perhaps it’s not your strongest area, the kindergarten to third-grade teacher’s manual has scripts for each lesson.
• That makes it easy for anyone with little or no experience to “learn” how to teach math as you are teaching it to your child.

Scheduling and Planning are Easy

• It is easy to plan and make a schedule because the textbooks are uniformly formatted.
• For example, in the Saxon Math 54 to Math 87 levels, there are 120 lessons in each textbook.
• There is a test schedule in each tests and worksheets book.

Continual Review of Math Concepts

• In every lesson in Saxon homeschool math, there is a problem set with some problems from previous lessons.
• The lesson number where that type of problem was first studied is shown in parentheses for reference.

Variety

• Saxon works well for students who like to do different types of problems as opposed to working 25 of the same type of problems.
• One of our daughters hated the variety and wanted 25 of the same problems.
• The bad news for her was that she did Saxon through her senior year because she didn’t tell me that until after she graduated.
• The good news was that she did quite well on the math part of her college entrance exams.

Frequent Testing

• Depending on which grade you use, there are tests every four or five lessons. This ensures that your student has mastered the math concepts.

What We Did in Our Homeschool

• With our homeschooled children who used Saxon Math, we didn’t make them work every problem as long as they scored 90 or higher.
• It was a way to reward them for taking the time to learn the concepts and self-check their work.

Saxon Solutions Manuals

• The solutions manuals have the worked-out written solutions for all the problems and test problems in the Saxon Math textbooks and tests.
• Most homeschool parents can show their children how to work the problems in the early math grades.
• Once the problems become more difficult, it is very handy to have the worked out solutions when you are helping a student or checking math answers.

Proven Track Record with Homeschoolers

• Over the years homeschooling families have used Saxon Math homeschool courses with great results.
