The Saxon Math program is the best available for homeschoolers. Its spiral approach ensures students do not forget information the learned about any given topic. Other programs feature a chapter on fraction, a chapter on geometry and so on. In Math 1, students are introduced to each concept using money as a starting point. For example, place value is related to dollars, dimes and pennies.
I use these for my kids. They are great! No distracting pictures. Just the needed information. My kids enjoy the routine exercises.
I have a child in kindergarten who has recently become interested in all things math, so I decided to get Math 1 for her to do at home. We like the curriculum, but it is so repetitive that she gets frustrated with "doing the same thing over and over". Of course, I think the program is great because it makes sure the child understands before moving on to something new, and then incorporates problems constantly from previous lessons. I do have to skip some of the lessons, just to keep her interested. Would be nice if it moved just a tad quicker. Great for a child having trouble grasping concepts.
Don't waste time with the Kindergarten curriculum. Start here.
I ordered this to establish a strong mathematical foundation for my 5 year old - who will be starting first grade in the fall. I've heard a lot of wonderful reviews from my friends in the homeschooling community about this program and figured, whether or not I homeschool, I wanted my son to start math the right way.So far I have been very pleased with the progression. It's very thorough and encourages the student to think about each exercise - not just busy work.I did not purchase the teachers guide that goes along with this - instead I'm sharing with a friend. It seems like you don't need the teachers handbook all the time - especially for part 1.Only four stars cause I haven't completed both books yet - but I'm pleased so far with the quality and content of the books.
Though it took awhile to arrive, I just adore it. I would, however, love to have the pieces that go with it such as the posters, meeting board pieces, etc, but I cannot afford them.
Saxon is a great curriculum! Super repetative, so if your child needs the practice you can use the sheets, but if you need to skip ahead its easy to do.
Exactly what I needed and super impressed with the company who reached out to me via email to see how satisfied I was! Very impressed!
