| Feb 15, 2015 at 3:36 | comment | added | James S. Cook | I tend to agree that Saxon might be the right text for this circumstance. However, I also think it is the wrong text for students who have deeper interest in math. Richard apparently being an example. (my opinion here is largely based on some comparison my wife has made between Saxon and Singapore math [which we use]) | |

| Feb 14, 2015 at 16:03 | comment | added | Rory Daulton | @JoeTaxpayer: Richard mentions Saxon in his penultimate paragraph. A current fellow math teacher in my school used this curriculum in another school and she loves it. She particularly likes how it does much review, and also how it mixes up various topics to show how all math is related. Your mileage may vary: Richard certainly did not like this series. I know too little to have my own opinion. | |
