This book is made up of roughly 140 chapters, each with a lesson and then practice problems of what you just learned, and then 25ish review problems. It's the only way that really works. I've tried tutoring kids with other programs, that don't have the built in review, and it just doesn't stick, no matter how intuitively they got it the first time. With this book (for 4th or 5th graders) you lay the foundation of basic arithmetic on which everything else is built. It also saves tutors tons of lesson prep time, because you can simply do a lesson, knowing that the review problems are carefully selected to make it stick, instead of hunting around old chapters to try to select review problems for your student

I love this textbook. I used the Saxon system when I homeschooled my daughter. I still have the textbooks for older students. I am now tutoring reading and math and giving support to homeschool families. I am slowly building up my collection of lower-grade Saxon books. This is the best math system ever, and this 5/4 textbook does not disappoint. Its best features are the way concepts are broken down into smaller sub-concepts to facilitate learning, the incremental learning approach, and the review and repetition so that the student can get a lot of practice on what was learned. I don't know of any downside to this textbook.

If your child is beginning to slip in their math grade(4th), or perhaps you need feel the need to support their early math studies in order to help build a solid math foundation or if you need an independent study for a high acheiving younger student or a lower achieving older learner, you need Math54! I bought this book as a classroom co-study for my low-average performing fourth grader. She seemed to need additional practice and a structured review practice program at home. We started mid-school year at the beginning of the Saxon text so she has gained confidence because it is a review of her classroom work. The lessons are bite-sized, easy for her to read and digest as a review, and the constant practice of previously introduced concepts is so important for this learner! Shall I say word problems?? The Saxon math program as a parent supervised home supplement to classroom skills mastery is an easy way for concerned parents to reinforce grade level material in a structured and repetitive manner.Read full review
This 2nd edition of Saxon Math 54 is still a very popular product. I purchased this for my daughter who homeschools her children. She herself learned math using this series, so our entire family is familiar with the product.
