Aunty Social Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Anyone know how many lessons are repeated as review at the beginning of the next year for Saxon Math? We are due to finish the school year in 13 more instructional days (no, I'm not counting;)), but won't have finished the book. I don't want my dd to miss out on some vital math instruction, but if it's repeated at the start of next year then I don't have to worry - or go a couple weeks long. TIA!

Chris in VA Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 It depends on the level. Nothing is actually repeated, exactly, but it does back up a bit further than I expected (I've used K-3, and a bit of 5/4). I think 3, in particular, throws a bunch of stuff at you in the last 30 lessons or so. All of it will be covered again, and most takes a while to get to. 13 days is nothing. Go ahead and stop.

Aunty Social Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thanks. We're working on 5/4 right now, planning on 6/5 next year. I do plan on some review over the summer (grammar and math basics, reading, french vocab), but really didn't want to be teaching new material. We'll be about 25-30 lessons from the end of the book when we finish for the year. I thought I remembered being really surprised by how far they backed up, just wondered if anyone out there had actual corollary information.

mcconnellboys Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 At the upper levels, it's always seemed to me that about the first third is review of lessons previously learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty Social Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 Thank you! That's what I intuitively thought, but I'm glad to have verification. I can put the book away unfinished without guilt. YAY! well, in 13 days anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
