theYoungerMrsWarde Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I looked through the Virtual Sampling of Saxon Math Grade K today. My 4yo saw what I was doing and asked "What's that?" and then started answering the questions on the pages I read to him. He knew a lot of it, but there were still some new concepts, and he could always use the review. Then I looked at the teacher's guide, and it looked like it was all for classrooms. My question is: do I need the teacher's guide for this low a level? Have you bought both and then not used the teacher's guide? Or did you get just the workbooks and feel something was missing? Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Unless something has changed very recently there is no workbook. The homeschool kit includes the teacher's manual which has "masters" in the back to use with the program and a meeting book which contains mainly the calendar and counting activities. Were you by chance looking a the school version of Saxon Math rather than the homeschool version? The homeschool version TM is very scripted but was not designed for classrooms but for a mom working with her child. HTH, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Robyn Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 It sounds like you were looking at the public school version of Saxon. They have separate homeschool version. The K level of the homeschool version is just a TM and a "meeting book" which is essentially a blank calendar. ETA: You beat me to it JanOH!

Is the homeschool version on the same website? It was very confusing to me. I had trouble finding things, and it took me quite a while to find the prices!
