Saxon Math Course 1 — Common Questions

Saxon Math Course 1 covers Fractions, decimals, and percents, ratios and proportions, integers and the coordinate plane, geometry and measurement, and introduction to algebraic thinking. Lessons build incrementally and review earlier skills so concepts stick over time.
Saxon Math Course 1 is designed for students working at roughly a 6th Grade level, but placement is based on mastered skills rather than age. The most reliable way to confirm the right starting point is to take the free placement test.
Most students complete Saxon Math Course 1 in one school year at a pace of about four to five lessons per week. You can move faster or slower — the program is self-paced, so spend extra time on tougher topics and move quickly through ones your student already knows.
Nicole's video lessons and online grading follow the 1st edition. The Saxon Math Course 1 classroom materials are listed above with links to buy them. A complete kit includes the textbook plus the supporting workbooks and tests.
