I could not teach from Saxon math and my daughter couldn’t teach herself with it. We found a wonderful curriculum for elementary math called Right Start. It walks me through step by step. I now have a better math education than I did when I graduated high school. Now they use Teaching Textbooks which is an online program. The wonderful thing about homeschooling is that you can tailor the curriculum to meet the needs of the child.
Correction: Teaching Textbooks is CD ROM not online.
