Saxon Math
All levels
Used since 1995

Likes:

Lower Levels:
- Lots of hands on learning
- Many different concepts are introduced in a subtle way
- Teachers guides tell you what to say.
- gradual approach to learning the "facts" with lots of practice

Upper Levels:
- review of concepts is built in
- I have used the accompanying CD's to explain higher levels
- like the story problems

Dislikes:
Not enough practice with the current lesson is built into the daily worksheets - most of it is previous lesson content which, while the review is great, the current concept gets only one or two problems and isn't reinforced enough.
