saxon math : The Math Worksheet Site Kids

I am a homeschooling father of six. (Seven as of August 2004.) My two oldest daughters--Ruth (age 12) and Sarah (age 10)--started using the WORD 6.0 version of MathWork as their primary math instructional material when I wrote the original program 5 1/2 years ago. They started out printing and completing about 2 worksheets 5 days a week. They used the worksheets until they memorized the multiplication tables and showed proficiency in long division. At that time we started them in Saxon Math 65, which is a math curriculum designed for 6th grade or advanced 5th grade students. Since the first 100 pages of Saxon Math 65 review a lot of 1st through 4th grade math, we can cover material that isn't covered using The Math Worksheet Site worksheets.

We got the idea to delay formal math instruction using a math textbook from Harvey and Laurie Bluedorn of Trivium Pursuit, an organization that encourages homeschooling families in classical methods of education.

Ruth is now working through her first-year algebra book. Sarah is working through Saxon Math 76. Anna (age 7) is now using these worksheets to memorize her multiplication tables. Paul (age 6) has surprised me by showing me completed worksheets for addition with carrying. When did he learn that?
