How is Saxon ‘drill and kill’?

They teach a concept, then they’ve got about half a dozen practice problems for that lesson. The next few problems are from the day prior and so on.

Takes about an hour to do and each practice reinforces the previous lessons.

If my kids really had something down, I’d have them do every other problem or skip the last few because they weren’t necessary.

Memorizing the multiplication tables was fun for my kids. We made a game out of it. Lots of memory devices and some were hilarious. My kids still smile when they’re multiplying and they remember some of the silly stuff we did.
