The Saxon series is wonderfully progressive in pace; not too fast or slow, and presented well enough where young minds can grasp the material and gain a foothold by doing every problem in each section, and working step-by-step as they progress through the book. I find the examples and explanations to be better than most. High on content, low on fluff. This material should be taught in grade school! I am a firm believer that it is up to me (not public school) as a parent to require a high level of performance from my children. I use this book in my home school arsenal to teach my youngest children (grade school age) the most important subject matter in academics- higher math and science! Physics, Chemistry, Engineering principles, coding, etc... My daughter will not wind up "doing hair" at the local mall for a living! Saxon math/science books are one weapon that I use to keep their minds both hungry and taxed. If you rely on public school to teach your kids... they're already far behind where they could and should be!Read full review
I homeschooled two children from K-12 using Robinson Curriculum which is 100% self-taught using Saxon for math. They both tested at the community college into college classes at ages 15 and 16 and the math professor and advisor asked what I used for math because they had rarely seen such high test scores. They were shocked to find out they were both self taught. Saxon textbooks is written to the student so it's great for self taught students.

my son had his Algebra 1 book on his basement bedroom floor one night the sump pump quit and we had a slight flood damaging his book. since it was an older book and the teachers book & tests were older we needed a maching book. looking on ebay for a replacement book was the awnser I replaced the book at under half the cost of a new book.He was able to finish his school work with his replaced book. I will be looking for more homeschool books on ebay.
I have used Saxon math from 54 through Algebra 1. I love how Saxon has plenty of equations for the new material as well as the old. The only draw back I've had using Saxon's Algebra 1 is for the student that has difficulty understanding algebra. For that student I found teaching one chapter in two sessions helps, but I have discovered another publisher was better for him.
Great algebra text for high school.
