Saxon Math books are the easiest to use and produce results!
Both of my homeschooled children were taught using Saxon Math since they entered forth grade. We used the series through the pre-algebra textbook. It is a programmed series, building fact upon fact giving the child a good grounding in the basics. My children were able to work on the course independently. When they chose to return to public school, they both tested into the 8th grade honors Algebra I program. I've noticed they are far less calculator dependent than their peers. I plan to purchase Saxon's Algebra I course for my child to use to supplement our school system's poorly written textbook.

This book is a good one for children stuggling with Math
Saxon provides a good instrument for learning math if the student is not very good at math. It provides a lot of review and does not shock the student with too much, too fast. The only drawback to Saxon is that the child gifted in Mathematics may soon tire of the repetition that is so vital for the average student. This book may turn on a marginal math student and may turn off a brilliant one. One must also note that this text is a minimum for 7/6 grade. It is not an advanced textbook.

the BEST of the Best math books around
The Saxon books are some of the best that I have ever used. I used Saxon books throughout all of my honors classes in highschool. Considering my scores on placement tests, I was place into Calculus III at the beginning of my freshman year at the University of Iowa. These books did wonders for me. The methods employed by Saxon books are sound. The books get students to examine all sorts of different ways to attempt problems. With the progressive method of learning, students learn the formulas, equations, and ideas by heart. Two thumbs way up for Saxon!
