This specific textbook represents the sixth edition within the seventh grade level of the Saxon Math curriculum. It’s characterized by its incremental approach, introducing concepts gradually and reinforcing them through continuous review and practice. A typical lesson involves a brief introduction of new material, followed by practice problems encompassing both current and previously learned concepts. This spiral method aims to solidify understanding over time.
The incremental development and integrated review system are often cited as strengths of this particular mathematics program. The curriculum’s focus on consistent practice and cumulative review seeks to promote mastery and long-term retention of mathematical principles. Developed by John Saxon, the series has a history of use in homeschooling environments and some traditional schools, providing a structured and systematic approach to learning math.
