I purchased Saxon Math 8/7 for my 4th grader after she finished Saxon Math 7/6. We use it as part of our homeschool curriculum. I love that Saxon Math has such great explanations of new concepts, and constant repetition of those concepts throughout the book. The result is that when a child finishes a Saxon book, they thoroughly know all the concepts taught in that book. Great series!

Saxon Math 8/7 is the best I have seen for teaching middle school math students. The lessons flow at a comfortable pace; while the Mixed Practice keeps past lessons fresh in students minds during the introduction of new facts and procedures.

Solid math program with plenty of explanation and review. Student can use textbook to "self teach". Lots of drill practice which has been very helpful. Very little teacher prep required!

I LOVE the saxon program I am very happy with that. However it took over 2 weeks for it to get to my house. I should have bought it from amazon. And the book was not manufactured right when it was binded the pages were doubled over. And since I wanted this program before my son started school this year I carefully fixed it myself with some scissor's and tape. I am more unhappy with the time it took to get to me however that was riduclous.

There is some overlapping from the previous edition, as is usual with Saxon Math, but not annoyingly so. New concepts are explained well, my 11 year old is able to understand them herself with little or no help.

I had heard great things from others using Saxon Math and now I know why. I am very pleased with it in the short time we have been using it (we're up to lesson 10 -- 2 weeks). My child is also very happy with it....likes the format, likes the way the lessons are explained. We switched Math curriculum mid year due to previous one not explaining concepts enough and not giving enough practice on new concepts to be able to master and retain the new info. Frustration has been replaced with eagerness to do daily math lessons thanks to Saxon. Other pros: Solutions manual shows all the steps to solving each problem. Record keeping sheets make it easy to keep it all organized.

I'm working with a 17 year old young man who used Saxon to jump from third-grade proficiency in math to eighth grade proficiency in math in less than six months. A good curriculum.

I was looking on the web trying to get this 8/7 Saxon Math kit and it was a bidding war which, in the end I lost. Funny thing is that is sold for more than I paid at CBD!! I am very impressed at the value of this product!

Easy to follow. The solution manual is very helpfull, specially if we as parents need a little help correcting the exercises. At first sight it looked too much problems for my kid, but he is managing it very well, and he likes it. We don`t skip any problems. It takes a little time, but I think it worthy.

Math 8/7 follows the same format as Math 7/6. Very repetitive so mathematical concepts get ingrained into the mind. Love the thoroughness of it.

I ordered this for my daughter after learning that what had been using had put her behind. She loves it so far. Which is a huge blessing. She has never really liked math but says that this is very good. The way it is taught, we bought the Saxon DVD's, is very explanatory. So as of right now I can say it is worth the money!!

I had high hopes for Saxon because it uses the spiral approach that our previous curriculum (CLE Sunrise edition) uses and garners such positive reviews. I had also hoped to find something to bring us through the high school years. However, Saxon 8/7 has been a disappointment for us even with the purchase of the DIVE cd.
We have found frustration with the lessons time and time again. A simple concept is spread out in such a lengthy and often unnecessarily complicated way that leaves both ds and I confused. (This aspect is not at all like CLE.) The math "language" is partly why I chose Saxon, but it is not providing the results I'd hoped for. (And this particular ds has excellent reading comprehension.) I will often teach it to him the way I was taught and the light goes on.
Another problem we have encountered is that a concept is taught with a simple example. However, when covered again in the lesson (and lessons thereafter) a more complicated version is given but there are no samples to show how. This has happened on several occasions.
It obviously works well for many, but we will not be returning to Saxon next year. If only CLE had their upper level Sunrise math levels completed...

I find Saxon very straight forward. My son can work on his own. It suits his learning style perfectly. I like how every chapter builds on the next and how the mixed practice reviews all the previous lessons frequently.

These books came quickly and in perfect condition! We are using them, and I just LOVE these homeschool books. They make it possible for me to teach my Autistic 10th grader myself, since he is unable to learn math without someone forcing him to continually pay attention! This was the best price I found anywhere also. Thanks!
