Item Description...
Saxon math programs produce confident students who are not only able to correctly compute, but also to apply concepts to new situations. These materials gently develop concepts, and the practice of those concepts is extended over a considerable period of time. This is called "incremental development and continual review." Material is introduced in easily understandable pieces (increments), allowing students to grasp one facet of a concept before the next one is introduced. Both facets are then practiced together until another one is introduced. This feature is combined with continual review in every lesson throughout the year. Topics are never dropped but are increased in complexity and practiced every day, providing the time required for concepts to become totally familiar. Saxon's Math K program is carefully planned and packaged in a homeschool kit to make your teaching experience easier. Kindergartners will develop skills including oral counting; recognizing and sequencing numbers; identifying ordinal position; acting out addition and subtraction stories; counting with one-to-one correspondence; sorting; patterning; graphing real objects and pictures; identifying and counting pennies, nickels, and dimes; identifying one half; identifying shapes; covering and replicating geometric designs; measuring using nonstandard units of measure; telling time to the hour; and using a calendar. Oral assessments are built into the program. This first edition kit contains a teacher's manual and a meeting book. Grade K. |

 | Great math curriculum for homeschoolers Dec 31, 2009 |
Being new to homeschooling my wife and I were very nervous about the whole business. The Saxon Math curriculum has been a wonderful help in building our confidence.
Things which we especially like are -
1) The way it builds on the concepts already learnt, with a suitable degree of repetition to ensure reenforcement
2) The "teacher script" concept, which means that even as a first timer you really can't go wrong
3) The breadth of topics covered right from the start, including number recognition, arithmetic, dates and times, money and geometry
I've seen reviews complaining about the inflexibility, because of the "daily meeting" concept which has a set number of lessons per month. Others have complained about the fact that it uses US money. We've been able to adapt the lessons quite easily to a slightly different timescale and to use a different currency (UK pounds, with a little bit of education on Euros and US dollars thrown in for good measure).
Since math is only one of a number of subjects we are teaching we find the lessons are a suitable length for the age of child.
Our elder daughter is making very good progress thanks to Saxon, and our younger one (who is only just turning 3) is already starting to pick up some of the concepts as well in so much as we may need to skip Math K with her altogether when the time comes.
So if you are homeschooling, I'd thoroughly recommend Saxon to you.
One thing though : make sure you get the Manipulatives Kit as well. While it would be possible to source all the items in it separately it will save you a great deal of trouble to get them all together (and the box is good for keeping everything in as well).
