Saxon Math 2 Home Study Kit

The friendliest and most thorough math program available, Saxon uses incremental advances and continual review to allow any student to master the grammar of math easily. The Saxon Math 2 Home Study Kit, the recommended choice for first graders, includes the teacher's edition, meeting book, and workbooks/fact cards you need to help your young scholar progress in committing foundational mathematics concepts to memory.

Saxon 2 methodically builds on previously learned concepts and increases retention. The course covers working with larger numbers, geometric shapes, Venn diagrams, graphs, basic calculations, simple fractions, and multistep problems. Children will learn their multiplication facts this year, too.

Young minds are eager and able to learn, and that's why we recommend using this program ahead of the stated grade level—something John Saxon himself told us he supported. You may find the need to read problems aloud to your student, especially early in the year, but that's no cause for concern. Your child will be ready to grasp the content and drill, drill, drill to experience the triumph of ever-improving mastery.
