mommydearest Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Do you have your child compete both sides of the worksheet? I did not require my 1st and 3rd grader to do the back side if the front was done correctly. If any questions were missed, then I would have them work the similar question on the back (but not the whole page). Just wondering if most people follow Saxon's recommendation to do the front side, and complete the back later in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniseibase Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We only do both sides if either a) they missed a problem & I needed to see if they understood it or not or b) they felt like it. Even when we did do both sides we never did the second side later in the day, we just did it right then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We do both sides in one sitting. If it begins to take to long, then I will break it up, but I believe we will always do both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gswhitfield21 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We usually only do one side. I save the sheets for review during our "days off" and "summer". It is a quick and easy way to help him stay up on his math skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristenR Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I got about halfway through Saxon 1 with my dd. We only did one page unless she needed added work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We did both. I'm a classic Saxon user. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiztrezzLyn Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We do both sides, I didn't feel like it was too much really, there aren't a LOT of problems on a side. I guess my son didn't NEED to do both sides since he always did well with math, maybe I'm just mean :) We're about 10 lessons from finishing Saxon 2 and we're moving into Hake's Saxon 3 and the format changes, I'm curious to see if he likes it better.

duckens Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We do 1 side, and I save the other for a later date. On days I don't have time to do all of the other parts of Saxon (clock, money, calendar), I'll have dd do a few pages of the review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Both, but at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UmMusa Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 We're in Saxon 3 this year and she'll do the side A after the lesson. She does Side B the next morning while i get the meeting strip ready. Everyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrself Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Half the time we didn't even do the whole page; I just marked which problems for ds to work. Between the facts page, calendar, pattern, money, time... lesson and worksheet, math takes way too long as it is. I like Saxon, but I definitely make it work FOR us.

MelAR05 Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have never done both sides unless they just felt like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
