saxon math : Saxon Math Books
Mathematics is a key element in early education. Not only is mathematics the language of science, mathematics also teaches mental discipline and rigorous rational reasoning.
The Robinson Curriculum uses Saxon math books and a unique study method that markedly enhances their effectiveness and the student's progress.
Everything required for 12 years of home-education is on these 22 CD-ROMs with the exception of nine Saxon math books - starting with Saxon 54 and extending through Saxon Calculus. A coupon allowing purchase of these books at a 20% discount from the ordinary retail price comes with each set of 22 CDs. Each student usually finishes these books by age 14 to 16, so about one book per year is needed, depending on the student's individual rate of progress. (Ed. To know where to start older children, you can click here to find the free Saxon Math placement exams.)
The curriculum is not divided by "grade" levels. Each student simply moves up a seamless road of knowledge at whatever rate of progress his abilities and study habits permit. We omit grade levels because they have become a means by which student achievement is normed to public school academic levels. These schools have, however, fallen very far behind the academic levels that were common even in the public schools of earlier generations. Children should not be deprived of the chance for a superb education by subjecting them to the failed standards of public schools.
