Saxon Math 5/4 Homeschool Student Text

Recommended for your third and fourth graders who have a solid foundation of basic level math skills, the Saxon Math 5/4 Homeschool Student Text introduces more complex concepts and begins to prepare students for higher levels of math found in the late grammar stage of learning. Lessons contain a warm-up (facts practice, mental math, and problem-solving exercises), an introduction to the new concept, lesson practice exercises, and mixed practice exercises with old and new problems.

Focusing on algebraic reasoning and geometric concepts, the 3rd edition of Saxon 5/4 continues to employ a spiral learning approach that introduces new material incrementally while continuously reviewing concepts already learned. In addition to other topics, students will learn to add three-digit numbers, subtract numbers with regrouping, estimate arithmetic answers, divide with two-digit answers, multiply three or more factors, and simplify fraction answers.

We strongly believe young minds are far more capable than many people think, and that's why we recommend using this program ahead of the stated grade level—something John Saxon himself told us he supported. With the help of incremental advances and the practice, practice, practice of daily review, your young scholar will rise to the challenge of grasping concepts and experience the triumph of ever-improving mastery.
