Saxon Math

Saxon Math is a thoroughly researched skills-based mathematics program for grades K-12. Saxon's unique approach, based on instruction, practice, and assessment distributed across the grade level, incorporates 20 years of research and classroom experience.

This approach more fully ensures that children not only gain math skills, but that they retain them. Saxon Math is designed so that complex concepts are broken into related increments, recognizing that smaller pieces of information are easier to teach and easier to learn.

This distributed approach has produced significantly higher level of student learning than massed presentations such as those found in programs with a chapter-based approach or a spiral curriculum. Assessments are built into each fifth lesson to help STRIDE teachers frequently gauge your child's progress and make adaptations in instruction based on your child's needs.

Saxon Math Testimonials

"Tyndall Elementary has been using Saxon Math for eight years and every year our students have performed well on the State Standardized Test. The percentage of our levels 3-5 on the math 2006 FCAT were higher than the district's and state level. Last year, on the math FCAT our fi fth graders raised their learning gains from 70% to 89%."

"Because Saxon is so well written and organized, it frees the teacher to teach. We keep lessons to about 10 minutes. We model. Students practice. Then we begin working on the cumulative problem sets. This is where most of the learning takes place. Most of the teaching is done student to student. In this way the classroom has 25 teachers not just one.

We feel with Saxon that all students can learn. Because of the cumulative problem sets and incremental development the kids learn and remember. They learn past the mastery level to automaticity."
