Complete Kit 1994: 1st Edition

by Larson

Saxon math programs produce confident students who are not only able to correctly compute, but also to apply concepts to new situations. These materials gently develop concepts, and the practice of those concepts is extended over a considerable period of time. This is called "incremental development and continual review." Material is introduced in easily understandable pieces (increments), allowing students to grasp one facet of a concept before the next one is introduced. Both facets are then practiced together until another one is introduced. This feature is combined with continual review in every lesson throughout the year. Topics are never dropped but are increased in complexity and practiced every day, providing the time required for concepts to become totally familiar. Saxon Math 2 is made up of five instructional The Meeting, Number Fact Practice, The Lesson, Guided Class Practice and Homework, and Assessments. This home study kit includes a teacher's manual, a meeting book, and a student workbook with fact cards. Grade 2.

Not as good as the original Saxon levels (5/4+).
No mention of number bonds and how addition and subtraction are related. If a kid memorized the addition tables then they should be able to do all subtraction problems too- but ONLY if they understand the relationship between the functions.

Singapore has the advantage there- it stresses this from the beginning. And the workbooks and textbooks are incredibly engaging with colorful pictures and activities. Also, the workbook pages for early Saxon are repetitious and boring which makes engaging with the material more difficult for young children.

Singapore is great until level 4 or 5 and then I recommend switching to Saxon 5/4.

Think very very carefully and look this book through before trying to teach from it. This goes for all the saxon math books.

I've been through this book twice. I've thoroughly enjoyed it. Very straight forward and easy to teach from.
