students need to learn the basics in math

Everyone agrees students need to learn the basics in math. There are concerns about how well teachers — especially in elementary schools — understand math, whether students should be required to take more than two years to graduate from high school The math council hasn't changed its view that students need to be taught a much deeper understanding of math than most of their parents were. The organization has led the way to what's become known as "reform" math, which includes a strong focus on helping students develop a conceptual understanding of math, and an ability to use math to solve problem. Teacher used Saxon math texts before, and found it difficult to inspire students. That approach appealed only to "linear" learners, he says — those happy to learn the steps and use them.

Saxon emphasis on math with the help of the excellent Saxon math series teaches them to think, builds confidence and ability to the point of almost error-free performance, and establishes a basis of knowledge that is essential to later progress in science and engineering.

Saxon math building kids confidence

The one positive I had heard from time to time, almost as an aside, is that Saxon is good for building confidence. Kids who had had a bad time in math, once they got going with Saxon, often found math easier, liked it better as a result, and felt better about math in general.

My son was very poor in math and hate math very much and also excape math from school. So I got him saxon math to study at home with my confidence and encrougement he became to like it and also find math a easy lesson. Saxon math was the program of choice for us that year.

His confidence grew and did find math to be fairly easy with Saxon's incremental approach. he did well and this became his favourite subject. his teacher was surprise to see his improvement in math He did very well in school and became the top boy in his class in math and rarely making anything but careless mistakes. His teacher was surprise to see his improvement in math even the whold class. Thanks to the daily practice and hand-holding Saxon provided. I found the promise that Saxon could build confidence to every child who hates math.
