Not as clueless as I was when I started homeschooling.

Yes, it is the math from Saxon Publishers. It is very no frills and very thoroughly explains everything. You can basically teach yourself math using it. My kids did and came to me when they didn't understand something and I finally learned all that math that I didn't get in high school.

Funny thing is, the school district we used to homeschool in was so impressed with the home schoolers standardized test math scores and noticed that most of them used Saxon Math, so they looked into it and started using it themselves. Their math scores went up, too.

I'm glad I saw your post. I just purchased Saxon Math 1-3. I had heard different things about it not being hard enough but I liked the way it was laid out. It looks easy to use for someone like me whose math skills leave much to be desired - I can learn the hard stuff right along with them.

Does anyone have suggestions for a good science curriculum? I've been looking into BJU's science programs - has anyone used that?
