Although at the beginning of each book the number of review lessons are a bit tedious that is also what pleases us about Saxon. It is a very thorough math program.

As a former public schoolteacher, I say THIS program has been WONDERFUL (and we have tried 2 others just in the 2 years we've homeschooled!). I LOVE that the concepts build upon each other, that there are daily story problems, and that my son is learning the "whys" behind the math, not just a bunch of rules. My only "negative" is that this grade starts out VERY easy and workbooks are not visually exciting/colorful.... however, that being said- I DID choose to use this level when he had honestly "tested" (w/the Saxon placement test) at the 2nd grade level, so this is probably my own fault! Highly recommend this product! I feel comfortable using it, and can easily adapt the scripts/recommended "lessons" to meet my son's needs. I will honestly be using this 1st grade program w/my Kinder next year, but I do think it is 1st grade appropriate when compared to public school.

This is our first time trying out Saxon. I purchased our HS Saxon kit from this site b/c they have a great price, and I appreciate how they show you samples of materials so you get somewhat of an idea of what you are purchasing, vs. making a blind purchase and hoping it is what you thought it would be. Previously we have used Singapore and MUS. First let me say I think all these programs are awesome, it just depends on your child's needs, the way they learn best, etc. To make a long story short, I found we needed something with a little more predictability and spiral approach, at least for now. With this program you get lessons that follow the same pattern each day, starting with the meeting book which involves writing the date, identifying shapes patterns, writing a number sequence, and counting coins. then you move on to the lesson teaching portion (the new material) followed by the worksheet with side A to be completed immediately and side B, later in the day. (we do ours at the end or near end of our school assignments each day). The child gets a ton of practice writing number sequences, counting coins, learning their math facts, and practice on both new material and review of previous material so it doesn't get forgotten. If you have a child that needs a lot of repetition and review to make math stick, then give this program a try. I will say that one big difference I note from Saxon 1 vs. the same levels of Singapore and MUS, is it is less mental math, and more repetition of the basics, adding in time, money, drill of math facts and basics of geometry, shapes, patterns, etc. I foresee having to supplement with some word problems/mental math later on, but then I don't have experience w/ any other Saxon levels yet, maybe that gets added in with level 2?

I am a long time user of Saxon math. It is very thorough in setting up the progression needed to master a principle. I especially like the way it reviews what was learned previously before a new idea is taught. The text begins slowly and may be a bit boring to the student at first - due to the review concept. But then when new terms are taught, it does an efficient and complete job at helping the student grow to a level of mastery. I suggest that. before purchasing, you examine your child's mathematical level because they may be ready for the next grade level more rapidly than you anticipated.

My daughter is doing well with this program. She is engaged and working at a good pace.
I would recommend this program to any first time home schooling parent who needs a thorough program for their child. The teachers manual is great; it tells you what you need for each lesson and gives you a script for each day's meeting. The assessments have been great too. It gives me a better picture of where she's at so we can speed up or slow down as needed.

I like the scripted text for the teacher/parent so I know HOW to teach the material which is particularly useful for me in teaching lower grades. I used Saxon for other grades for my other children, and I trust the material. I would recommend Saxon for the lower grades, up to around Grade 5. After that, my children found it too tedious. The only reason I gave quality an average rating is because the paper used in the workbooks is thin and there is no color.

I've never used a heavily scripted curriculum like this. I'm primarily an unschooler. However, my son gets overwhelmed easily and needs a lot of repetition. This curriculum is terrific for him because each lesson has a clear beginning, a clear end, and no way for mama to go off on an interesting tangent! The information is presented in manageable bites so it's not too scary. He actually started laughing in relief after the first lesson!
I would not recommend this for a quick independent learner. My youngest daughter is using a different curriculum that is more suitable for fast-paced self instruction at the early levels. Saxon is good for self-study at the 4/5 level, but not at the 1 level.

the price was great for a full curriculumn, however math 1 is supposed to be a 1st grade level but i found it too easy. first grade work really didnt begin untill the middle of the book. The meeting times became somewhat boring after awhile. Because it was so easy for my 5 yr old we did two lessons at a time in the beginning. It does to a good job at progressing ahead while reviewing what was already taught. I bought the munipulative kit along with it which was great,no searching for what you need for the lesson! The lessons require very little preperation,really just need to read over it once to be ready for the morning! overall for the price this great,it fufills its purpose.

Gives you great teaching explanations and seems to cover all aspects of math. My 6 year old understands it very well. I did not buy the manipulative kit. I just find things around the house to cover the concept.

I have a college minor in math, and feel competent to teach first grade math to my kids. I bought the Saxon math on the recommendation of several friends and family. However, upon receiving this packet, I find the directions are confusing, and somewhat lacking in the teacher's manual, as to what one is really supposed to do for the meeting book lessons, and the regular lessons. The items listed as manipulatives have been difficult for me to find at a local teacher's supply store, and now I am faced with either buying a "Saxon set" from an online company, which seems to have enough of some of the items for 2 students, but not enough of all items for 2 students; or buying two "sets", with obvious unnecessary duplicates; or trying to get along without the manipulatives. The online company is mainly a regular classroom supply house, and so to buy the missing items from the kit means I need to buy 25 of them, or 2000 of them, etc. Not really what I need for two students.
As per my review on the "second student" kit, I am still missing the meeting book for the second student, and will need to order that separately: something I was unaware I needed to do when placing my original order.
The paper is very thin on these books, and feels cheap: more like newspaper print than a nice workbook.
This just has not been easy to get started with this product, and I cannot comment yet on the content of this class. I am thinking of returning this product.

We used Saxon Math 2 this year and my son loved it! The directions are clear and easy to follow. You can quickly plan your lesson and because of the repitition you can anticipate exactly what you will need to do on a daily basis. I purchased the Saxon Math 1 for my daughter to use next school year because I was so pleased with the success we had using Saxon 2 this year. I have already begun looking through it and I am excited about being able to use this curriculum with her next year. I would also strongly recommend the manipulatives kit, it is fun and eliminates the need for other preparation.

We used ABeka Math for K4 and K5 so I was initially unsure about the lack of colorful pictures on the pages. However as soon as we began the program we found the manipulative kit FAR more valuable than any cartoon illustration could ever be. Most days math is a game and enjoyable for us all. (My 4 year old gets in on the fun too)
We have completed Saxon 1 and are ready to begin Saxon 2. I highly reccomend the manipulatives though. They are used through Saxon 3 as I understand it and utilizing them daily, as reccomended in the curriculum, really is the best part of the program.

Great for teaching math. I just started homeschooling and was very nervous. But this set made it so easy. I love the visual concepts that really help my child understand the material. The written script makes it so easy. The only thing I wish was better was the paper of the workbooks. The pages are super thin. But we just don't use markers on the pages (they will bleed through). Other than that-love it! And I will be using Saxon for math however long I homeschool.

My son cannot wait to get started on this program. He is not a sit and do pages and pages of facts type child, and this program looks to be much more intense, yet the activities are providing the same results but with hands on fun! Most of the moms in our homeschool group use the Saxon Math program and highly recommend it.

I love Saxon math. It is very easy to use for any age child. However, my children seem to be ahead of the curve in the early years. My kindergartener is using the Saxon 1 and we still skip some things because he already has mastered them. It is really easy to use multiple grades together, even though the meat of the lessons may be different. We can do the meeting book together and then split into separate lessons, or sometimes even combine them.
