Description
Saxon is the nation’s most comprehensive and most thoroughly researched homeschool math program, with more than 30 years of proven success. Saxon mathematics for grades K–12 is based on the teaching principles of incremental development, continual practice and review, and cumulative assessment.
When John Saxon created his original math text in 1979, his vision was for a teaching method to help students better understand math. Since then, the program has been augmented with features to help you at every level.
Saxon’s K-3 program is designed to teach basic arithmetic concepts as well as geometry, patterns, time, and more. Each lesson is scripted for the parent, which takes the guesswork out of teaching young learners. Manipulatives accelerate understanding of abstract math concepts, and worksheets provide cumulative review.
Saxon Math develops a solid foundation in the language and basic concepts in all areas of mathematics. It carefully builds concepts in small increments and provides practice in order to create success for your child. Saxon's primary Home Study Kits for kindergarten through third grade provide materials appropriate for teaching children in a home setting.
Each kit contains:
• a Teacher's Manual (a spiral-bound book containing from 112 lessons in kindergarten up to 140 lessons in third grade)
• a Meeting Book (a consumable book which you and your child will use during The Meeting at the beginning of the day)
Each first through third grade kit also contains:
Each lesson in the teacher's manual provides a list of materials and preparation instructions. The lesson which follows is scripted, making teaching easy and providing appropriate language and questions. This lesson includes The Meeting, a new objective to be taught, fact practice and written practice instructions (in grades 1 through 3), and assessment instructions on appropriate days.
