 Very engaging Math program July 19, 2006

I have used the Saxon Math K toghether with the manipulatives this last schoolyear. My kindergartner had so much fun that his younger brother and even our 20 month old wanted to join in at times.
Because of chaotic cicumstances and two moves in the year we didn't follow the the calendar as proposed by the book. That is no problem. My son wanted to use other colors in his patterns anyways. I made sure the content of the lesson didn't get lost. With a little phantasy and goodwill the program can be used at any time of the year and it actually leaves a lot of room for exploration.
The manipulatives are so attractive I had to make sure you tug them away gently after a while.
I highly recommend this to any homeschooler. It is easy to use, easy to follow and easily caught up when you're not able to do it like the program prescribes.
excellent foundational math December 9, 2005

This is an outstanding math program for kindergarten. It will work for 4 or 5 year olds. The program starts each day with a meeting which teaches the calendar, year, months, weekdays, dates, counting, and patterns. Each day for this is basically the same, giving the student a standard routine wich builds on itself day by day. The familiarity of this is good for the kids. Kindergarten math concepts are taught orally from the teacher to the student. The lessons are scripted, making it very easy to use. It does require the purchase of a separate math manipulatives kit. With this, it strongly reinforces the concepts taught. I recommend this to all my friends who are starting their kindergarten homeschool.
 Excellent first math text July 9, 2005

This text book is appropriate for 4-year olds. It is very simple and the lessons are short. Five-year olds with some math background will probably be bored with this and should go straight to Math 1. Homeschoolers should know that this text is based on a typical school year calendar, and lessons are arranged beginning in September and going three days a week until June (July and August are not included). If you homeschool year round, or you teach math more than 12 days per month, or if you don't begin the first lesson in September, then your lessons will not correspond to the calendar in the book. The "Meeting Book," which includes a fill-in calendar, is also recommended for this curriculum, as well as various manipulatives.
A great way to lay a math foundation. June 29, 2005

This program is so easy to use and a lot of fun! My daughter just loves it! We usually sit down on the family room floor and play each day with the items listed in the teachers guide. She is learning math concepts without even really realizing it. At first, I thought the calendar part was kind of silly, but I am so impressed that my 5 year old now knows the days of the week, can tell you today's date, and is learning the months of the year in order. I recommend that you purchase the manipulatives set. It costs around $60 (through Saxon or Sonlight), but can be used through 3rd grade. We use items from it every day.
