Saxon Math Intermediate 3 — Common Questions

Saxon Math Intermediate 3 covers Place value and number sense, addition, subtraction, and early multiplication, fractions and measurement, geometry and data, and problem solving and written practice. Lessons build incrementally and review earlier skills so concepts stick over time.
Saxon Math Intermediate 3 is designed for students working at roughly a 3rd 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 Intermediate 3 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.
