My son is 10. He is advanced in math and has been working through Saxon 6/7 since 2007. The lessons are laid out very well. The skills are very strong. I really like the way the lessons are laid out because the problems are done enough times to allow the student to really remember the material.

I love Saxon math. When you first start using it, it can seem like overkill, and also seem too easy or that the lessons take too long. But I have done my research and used other programs. Nothing bests Saxon math. Your child will acheive automaticity, and therefore compute and retain mathematics facts and formulas for LIFE. If you want great info, buy the boo. By Art Reed, "how to use Saxon Math.". This book will explain how to use Saxon math. It will explain how the program works and give book by book particulars from 5/4 up. Saxon math had not changed, and it's still one of the best math programs available!

My son is 6 and we use the Robinson Curriculum. He suggests to have the child learn their basic math facts through 12. Add, subtract, multiply and division. Once memorized, have the child start Saxon 5/4 (4th grade math) and let them work through the book on their own with no help.
I was hesitant to have my 6 year old boy do this, but went with it anyway and wow! He is learning Saxon 5/4 all on his own! If he has a question, I just say, "Re-read your lesson and figure it out." And he does! So I love Saxon math!!

Great, great, great. I am in love with the D.I.V.E. disks! I worked with my daughter in the third grade (very parent intensive) but since then the kids have been on their own with the disk and the book. They are doing really well and have been scoring very high on the math sections on the standardized tests for the past 3 years. I make them listen to the lesson, do all of the warm-up, all of the lesson practice, and the odd review and practice. They are retaining the info from one year to the next, and doing so well. Highly recommend!
