Textbook: Saxon 6/5, 4th Ed.
Class Length: 32 weeks (2 semesters)
Class format: Lecture, Reading, Homework, Tests
Description:“Building upon the principles taught in Saxon Math 5/4, the Saxon 6/5 textbook covers concepts such as: the order of operations; geometry and measurement; integers; divisibility concepts; ratios; statistics and probability; prime and composite numbers; patterns and sequences; and powers and roots. Students will specifically learn about making a multiplication table, adding/subtracting fractions with a common denominator, multiplying by multiples of 10 and 100, perimeter, simple probability, decimal parts of a meter, reciprocals, volume, square roots, graphing points on a coordinate plane, and more.
Lessons contain a warm-up (with facts practice, mental math, & problem-solving exercises); introduction to the new concept, lesson practice exercises where the new skill is practiced, and mixed practice exercises, which includes 25-30 old and new problems. In-depth "Investigations" are provided every 10 lessons, and have their own set of questions.”
At Kingdom Builder we use the Saxon Math Curriculum for all of our math classes. Saxon builds a solid foundation for our students by having students continually solve problems of particular subjects until mastery. To obtain this mastery, it is recommended to start with Math 5/4 in 4th or 5th grade and continue through until Algebra 2 in High School.
