happycc Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Someone tell me the two main differences between Saxon math and CLE math.... The curriculum director of our charter school thinks Saxon would be the best for two of my kids now. I have Saxon here sitting in front of me Saxon 65 that is and nothing is making me scream ---yes this is it... Since so many people praise CLE math ...what is it that makes you scream it is working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I CAN tell you more details about what I really like and sort of don't like regarding CLE, if that would be of interest. I can also share the things I have heard about Saxon but that would be second hand information... Have you looked at the samples on-line of CLE? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summerreading Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 CLE made us go from hating math to getting it done without tears. My guys like to supplement with Khan Academy and the combo really helps. I think it's just that it's easy to understand and so much repitition that works. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The workbook makes CLE great. I've heard there are Saxon workbooks out there, but they're not part of the usual set at that level. Copying problems from a textbook can be an added stress for some kids. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
