Start your children out right with a solid foundation in mathematics that none other than Saxon`s Math can provide, with wonderful success rates and ease of teaching. The price is somewhat higher than the other Home Study Kits and that is because of the extra lesson components (description following). These excellent "hands-on" success-oriented programs that emphasize manipulatives and mental math have been rewritten specifically for one-on-one use and the important Teacher`s Manual is completely "scripted", meaning everything you say is written out making sure all vital information gets covered. We think you`ll agree, this is a small investment for such a strong start in mathematics that only Saxon can provide. Begin now and your children will enjoy and be successful in mathematics throughout their school years and for the rest of their lives. All lessons are interesting and enjoyable, making math class one they will look forward to! Please Note: You may find that the curriculum seems too easy at the very beginning. This is simply a result of the gentle, incremental development Saxon uses in all of their curriculum. Please be patient! At the end of the year your child will have progressed to a level beyond your wildest dreams! Please, it is very important to use the whole curriculum--don`t try to get by just using the workbooks, as you would only be getting about 1/3 of the program. *IMPORTANT NOTE: The Teacher`s Manual is nonconsumable and can be used with other children. The Student Workbooks and the Meeting Book are consumable, but may be replaced meaning that if you have younger children they could also use this program, by only replacing the workbooks and Meeting Book.
