Saxon Math 6/5 Hybrid Class, Part 1
Saxon Math 6/5 Part 1
In our Saxon Math 6/5 Part 1 Hybrid class, we will provide 1 live 25-minute class each week and over 12 hours of additional video recorded lessons to complete 60 math lessons, 6 investigations and 11 tests within 16 weeks. You will have a video for each lesson and investigation. The video and homework will be listed on our Learning Management System to be completed each week between the live sessions. Once the assignment is complete, you can turn in the homework, through the LMS, for our teacher to grade. During the live sessions, students and the teacher will come together to review the lessons from the previous week. If students have questions while watching a lesson video or while doing homework, they can reach out to the teacher for help where it can then be decided if a 1-on-1 tutoring session is needed. In some cases, the teacher may be able assist the student through text communication.
Description of Saxon Math
Saxon Math teaches math in the way students learn best— step-by-step. Saxon teaches each new skill by building on those the student already knows. By using incremental development, topics are taught in small steps spread over time. Some call this the spiral approach because concepts are introduced in “bite-sized” lessons that then gradually increase in difficulty. From the Saxon Math Intro page, “One facet of a concept is taught and practiced before the next facet is introduced. Both facets are then practiced together until it is time for the third to be introduced. Instead of being organized in chapters that rapidly develop a topic and then move on to the next strand, Saxon Math is organized in a series of lessons that gradually develop concepts. This approach gives students the time to develop a deeper understanding of concepts and how to apply them.”
