5.0 out of 5 stars Math 65, November 12, 2000

This book is being used by my grandsons 6th grade, and I am helping him with his homework. I have three university degrees, including Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate in science, business, and economics. And I have taught at the university graduate and undergrate level for more than twenty years. I was astounded at the efficient and advanced technique used by the author, Stephen Hake, to gradually introduce most basic concepts of logic, arithmetic, alegebra, geometry,and other subjects to my 12 year old student in this book, in a practical manner with practical every day applications, so that he absorbed them as by osmosis, without actually knowing it. This will provide him with a solid foundation for the four years of mathematics he will receive in high school, and for his later studies at university level. Hake does this without muddying up the young students mind with such distracting technical terms as "algebra, geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, logic,and other subjects," by introducing the basic concepts of each subject with practical problems that require the student to, unwittingly, apply them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Math 65 An Incremental Development, May 21, 2004

My 12 year old daughter is just completing Math 65. WOW!
Although not produced with Special Learning students in mind, the incremental learning is ideal for slower learning or learning disabled students. My daughter has always struggled mightily with Math concepts. She has made tremendous strides using this program. New concepts are introduced slowly and previously learned concepts are reinforced at each lesson. Each lesson includes a practice, some mental math and problems. At the start it took an hour at school and up to an hour at home to complete the lesson. She now gets each lesson done in under an hour! (It is set up for one lesson a day). I highly recommend this book, and I'm looking forward to using the next books in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect way to teach students from start to finish., December 14, 2003

This review is from: Saxon Math 65: An Incremental Development Complete Student Edition (Hardcover)

The Saxon math series kicked off with two wonderful books: 54 and 65. I was able to obtain 65 from one of my classmates because I needed some extra review in math. I LOVE IT! I used the book in 5th grade and had minimal struggle. The book starts with the simple concepts like addition and subtraction and slowly moves into fractions and missing number problems. Unlike the flop 76, rather than having surprise questions with no teaching, this book only throws surprise questions in after the concept was taught. The lessons are short making them relaxed rather than tense and the practices are short and to the point as well. Also, the mental math section at the beginning of each lesson helps students warm up on their addition, subtraction and whatever else skills they need to succeed. The appendix has a well written glossary and supplimental practice set for selected lessons to help endorse concepts. The books 150 lessons always have something new that'll help you; never an old concept. I highly reccomend this book whether you're just looking for some review or help or teach a class. Reccomended grade 4/5 for teachers. (Note: If you have to to get past the awful 76 for 6/7, use 65 and spare your students. You can always teach new concepts to keep them ahead.)
