 Excellent Program March 15, 2006

I began using Saxon Math Homeschool because I needed to home school for a few years and wanted to use the same curriculum as the school I expect to send the kids to when we move back "home." I was delighted with Saxon K and am just as pleased with Saxon 1. My 5 year son old is doing well with it and enjoys most of the lessons (because it was designed originally as a remedial program the publisher says kids can easily work one year ahead of designated "grade"). He does not however enjoy all the written work and we don't really need to do all of it. Each grade level repeats a healthy portion of the previous book. It is a great curriculum to stick with and I don't know anyone who has switched to something else once they used Saxon.
I would recommend it to anyone! The hands on lessons and the incremental approach are great. Incremental means rather than a chapter of this and a chapter of that each lesson builds a little and concepts are interwoven. For instance dimes and pennies are interwoven with counting by tens, adding up a receipt with money in the tens place & ones place, and regrouping is introduced by exchanging pennies for dimes.
There are specific manipulatives required for this program: balance, student clock (teacher clock with gearing is very helpful), geoboard with rubber bands, hundred number chart, mathlink cubes, pattern blocks, & ruler. You will also need the work books. Some people skip the meeting book portion of the lesson but I find it helpful though we don't do it every day.

I cannot see how they can change the name when that is the name the curriculum has called it for so many years. I absolutely love the meeting books because you have everything in the same place. My four and five year old children fought over the K one I bought last year. Now they are going through 1st grade math together. I didn't realize there was a meeting book for each year and am waiting for my "1" now. I bought a different year to take place of the "1" but am disappointed in it am purchasing the "1" now and will take the other one back.

Becareful!! This is not listed clearly... it is only the meeting book and not the student workbook. I ordered this under the impression it was the workbook as the listing implies and found out the hard way. Amazon would not refund my shipping cost. I was very disappointed.
If you have a calendar, can draw a graph for weather, type up a 100s chart, and practice patterning you do not need this book anyway.
Definitely go for the student workbook and the teacher's manual, it has all you will need. We absolutely love the Saxon program. My daughter has raced through it and can't wait to do math each day.
