6 Highly recommended by both Mary Pride and Cathy Duffy, Saxon math also wins our award for the Most Requested Text. Saxon math is a user-friendly math program - even for Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus and other generally difficult math topics. Learning is incremental and each new concept is continu-ously reviewed, so the learning has time to sink in instead of being forgotten when the next topic is presented. Higher scores on standardized tests and increased enrollments in upper-level math and science classes have resulted where Saxon has been used in public schools.

7 Students like Saxon because they feel successful in math instead of overwhelmed. Because of the format, children are able to work more K-3 PROGRAM The Teacher s Manual contains the actual les-son plans and information vital to the effective presentation of math concepts. The consumable Meeting Books are used during the teacher-stu-dent meeting in which concepts are intro-duced, demonstrated and practiced. If teaching more than one student at the same level, you will only need one meeting book. Consumable Student Workbooks are used in grades 1-3 only and contain student materials, flash cards and practice pages.
