Our school uses the Saxon Math curriculum in grades 5K-8. This program 'spirals' math concepts throughout the year. Every day there is a different lesson and the problem set that students work has many different types of problems, providing repeated practice during the school year. For example, Monday's lesson might be long division, Tuesday-stories about a fraction of a group, Wednesday-subtraction across zeros, etc. (You get the picture.) Students aren't expected to master each day's content on that day, but rather continue practicing the skills in subsequent lessons.
Homework is given daily and corrected in class. To give students the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and ask questions, homework is checked for completion but not graded.
Assessments are given after every five lessons. A note explaining each student's progress will be sent home along with their test and homework packet.
