A new increment is presented each day and students work on only a few problems involving the new material.  The remaining homework consists of practice problems involving concepts previously introduced. Every assignment (and every test) is a cumulative review of all material covered up to that point. That constant reinforcement is the hallmark of Saxxon, as is producing textbooks that focus on math skills.

                                                                                                                                                  Saxon builds on concepts gradually. Many advanced concepts are introduced early, but in such a way that students don’t realize it. By they time they need to use it, they are comfortable with the idea.
