Using John Saxon's Maths Books

Teri Ann Berg Olson, author and publisher of the Knowledge House writes:

"If you're using Saxon Math - no matter what grade your children are in - you've got to have this book!  It tells how to successfully choose and correctly use John Saxon's math books - and save money besides!  Our family owns most of the Saxon Math series, and 'Using John Saxon's Math Books' is an excellent addition to the collection."

Her entire book review can be found at:

Cathy Duffy, in her recent review of Art Reed's new book "Using John Saxon's Math Books," writes:

"This is a straightforward, 'here's what you need to know' book. It's packed with detailed information ... parents and tutors should purchase and read this book BEFORE selecting a Saxon math book to ensure they get the right book."

Her entire book review can be found at:

http://cathyduffyreviews.com/math-supplements/using-john-saxons-math-books.htm

Art Reed has taken his more than twenty years of experience with Saxon Math® books and placed this experience and knowledge into a 132 page guide to assist homeschool educators in their successful use of John Saxon's math books - from Math 54 through calculus and physics.

A former Saxon math teacher recently wrote "I wish I had read a book like yours before I started teaching Saxon Math."

You can review the book at www.usingsaxon.com or feel free to call the author at (580) 234-0064 (CST).  The price of the book is only $19.95. Shipping and handling is included!

(U.S., APO/FPO, Canada, and the UK  included in free shipping - Australia is an additional $6.00))

Some of the many questions this book will answer for you in detail:

  • Do Saxon math books still offer an excellent math curriculum?
  • Which Saxon editions are still good and which are not?
  • Which books can be skipped - and how can that be done correctly?
  • How can homeschool educators help a struggling Saxon math student?
  • How can a student be successfully placed?
  • How can homeschool educators successfully manage a Saxon classroom?
  • How are the Saxon high school courses correctly transcripted?
  • Does the Saxon high school student receive credit for geometry - and when?
  • What are the similarities and differences between Math 87 and Algebra ½ ?
  • How are the tests and daily assignments graded?
