What is Saxon Math? What type of student does well with Saxon Math?

Modified on Thu, 17 Jul at 1:06 PM

Saxon Math was designed to teach math through incremental development and continual review and has been successfully used in the homeschool, public and private school markets since the early 1980's.


Students who are the most successful with Saxon Math include those who:

  • thrive with routine and structure.
  • prefer a straight-forward approach.
  • like repetition in their instruction.
  • need a lot of review.
  • do better with written work.


Saxon Math might not be the best fit for students who are visual/spatial learners, get bored with repetition, need a lot of conceptual explanation or struggle with doing a lot of problems every day.
