 Great Saxon Math Book November 4, 2009
V. Mongeau-Minor (Colorado)
My son is in 4th grade and has just been moved up a level in Math. His school uses Saxon Math as a supplement for children who need/want enhancement. His teacher has them work in this book independently. We purchased one for home as well and our son totally loves it. He works on his own at home in the book. The instructions are easy enough that our son requires little help from us. He completes the lessons on his own (without having to be prompted), and feels a great sense of accomplishment. This Saxon Math book gets a 10 from us. V.Minor-Colorado.

This is not a full sized book. It was a little more worn than what was noted. I did received it before the arrival date and I would order from this company again, but I will make sure the book is a regular sized book and not a book club sized book.

In each lesson they explain the math and then have a question section and my son is really learning from this. It's working wonderfully!

I purchased this book to assist a friend with studying for a standardized test. This book is great ... It starts off each lesson by explaining a new concept... Then it offers 25 questions that encompass the new lesson and lessons that were previously completed. There is a fantastic glossary with pictures and examples and an index to help you find your way. There are literally over a hundred lessons! This is a great way to study for any standardized test or help your little mathematician find their way!

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 daughter said, it helped her "to make peace with math." Math is like learning how to play a musical instrument; it takes practice and self-discipline, but it's well worth the effort. Understanding math, like being proficient at reading and writing, is one of those practical skills that make life so much easier.
Using this incremental method of learning made homeschooling through high school a breeze and our college-age children sailed through their college math courses as well. In hindsight, it would be easy to choose it again.
