VIDEO LECTURES TEACH STEP-BY-STEP

Dr. Shormann teaches every lesson step by step on a digital blackboard that looks and sounds like a real classroom. The only difference is, you can easily pause, rewind and fast-forward the lecture, learning at your own pace. With degrees in aerospace engineering and science, Dr. Shormann has over 15 years experience teaching all levels of Saxon Math. His unique experience enables him to understand how all the lessons in a book fit together as well as how the curriculum builds all the way through Calculus and Physics.

BITE-SIZED LESSONS INCREASE UNDERSTANDING

Teaching three to five practice problems in each lesson, Dr. Shormann reviews previously learned concepts and connects each "bite-sized" concept to the next. This makes complex concepts easier to grasp while showing students the big picture. During the lecture, students work interactively by taking notes and working the practice problems with him. They are encouraged to pause, rewind, and fast-forward until they fully understand the new concept.

TAUGHT FROM A BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

Connecting Scripture with math and science, he teaches math as the God-given language of science, a tool for understanding God’s creation and the purpose and pattern evident in Creation. The history of mathematics is also discussed which shows the tremendous Christian heritage of mathematics and science, and how all mathematics resulted from a study of His creation. It doesn’t take long to discuss, but it is important to remind all students that God is the Author and Creator of all knowledge, including mathematics. Consider this: in our world, there exists a huge collection of facts, all subject to interpretation. Who do you want to interpret those facts for your child, a Christian or a non-Christian?

CONTINUAL REVIEW INCREASES LONGTERM RETENTION

After the lecture, students complete homework problems in the Saxon textbook. Each homework set provides continual review of previously learned concepts. Research has shown this method superior for increasing long term retention and recall time but it can be a problem for students who need to re-learn forgotten concepts. With DIVE, the student simply re-watches the corresponding DIVE lecture which is printed in parentheses next to each question. Better than giving them the answer, the student relearns the forgotten concept and immediately applies it to the problem; significantly increasing retention.

EXTRA HELP TO ENSURE UNDERSTANDING

The Saxon Homestudy Kit includes a Solutions Manual which shows how to work each problem step by step. We recommend reviewing the correpsonding DIVE lesson first, then consult the Solutions Manual if further help is needed. If more help is needed, you can email Dr. Shormann for more detailed explainations. However, our program is so comprehensive, this is rarely necessary.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why use Saxon Math?

Saxon Math is a research proven math curriculum developed in the 1980s by John Saxon. The Saxon approach is unique in that, instead of massing instruction, practice, and assessments, Saxon distributes them throughout the lessons and school year. Most math programs use a massed approach, whereby instruction, practice, and assessment of a skill or concept occur within a short period of time and are usually clustered within a single chapter or unit. Research has shown that Incremental Development, Distributed Practice, and Cumulative Assesment is superior to all other teaching methods, increasing longterm retention and recall speed which naturally leads to higher standardized test scores. However, most curriculums do not use this method because it is more difficult to teach and requires continual re-teaching of previously learned concepts. As an experienced Saxon teacher, Dr. Shormann provides comprehensive lectures in a format that is easy to re-teach forgotten or missed concepts.

Where should I place my child?

If your child has done well in their previous course and it is a fairly rigorous curriculum, such as A Beka, Horizons, or Bob Jones, your child should be able to transition directly into Saxon at the appropriate grade level. If your child has struggled with math in the past, has been in public school, or you have other concerns, we recommend taking the placement test .

Caution: While you can administer the Placement Test, if Saxon was not used for the previous course, the it may place your student lower than necessary. Most students should be placed at or no lower than one grade level below. not be placed more than one level below their grade* in the chart below.

Category Description for Saxon Math 7/6 (4th Ed.):

Category Description for Saxon Middle School Programs:

Featuring the same methodology as previous editions plus enhanced mathematical content, Homeschool Kits contain a non-consumable student edition textbook, consumable tests and worksheets for one student, and a solutions manual. All three components of the Homeschool Kit come softbound. The Student Edition Text uses a two-color page layout, as opposed to the black and white pages of prior editions. Tests and Worksheets include a significant amount of fact drill practice, course tests, as well as various forms for recording student progress. Solutions Manual contains solutions to all problems in the text and tests.




Category Description for Saxon Math:

Students like Saxon because they feel successful in math instead of overwhelmed.

The most popular homeschooling math program hands down! Highly recommended by both Mary Pride and Cathy Duffy, Saxon Math also wins our award for the "Most Requested Text." Saxon math is a "user-friendly" math program - even for Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus and other usually difficult math topics. Learning is incremental and each new concept is continuously reviewed, so the learning has time to "sink in" instead of being forgotten when the next topic is presented. Higher scores on standardized tests and increased enrollments in upper-level math and science classes have resulted where Saxon has been used in public schools. Students like Saxon because they feel successful in math instead of overwhelmed. Because of the format, children are able to work more independently.

Needed it for a homeschool learning center class.

My daughter is using the Geometry Dive CDs and she thinks they are wonderful. On days when life is crazy, my younger daughter wants to have the flexibility to learn on her own and not wait on me:)

We bought this to complement the Saxon textbook and tests that we already have. I'm hoping that my 11 year old, who has ADD, will enjoy watching the lessons on a screen.
Sarah H on Jul 14, 2018
I have the Saxon books -- just needed the CD for the same level/edition. Love that I can purchase separately!
Thomas B on Dec 3, 2017
I like how the Saxon Math lessons are set up. It's user friendly for homeschoolers, and the DIVE DVDs seem like they will be a big help.
Shawna M on Aug 23, 2017
Allow my children to watch the lessons that I can't teach. It also allows them to go back and watch again any lessons that they did not understand.
Sarah J on Jan 11, 2017
The Saxon DIVE DVDs are awesome! They allow my daughter to work more freely and independently.

Liked set up and content
Eric S on Oct 8, 2016
Tried just Saxon's version..and tried Dr. Shoreman's version. My kids like Dr. Shoreman's version much better, his voice is easy and encouraging, he also places scripture throughout and in his intro. the children are given a little motivational talk about learning math for God.
Victoria L on Aug 16, 2016
Have used Saxon & Dive cds for years with my children. They are a great asset, like having a personal tutor for math.
Susan B on Aug 15, 2016
this enables my student to learn on her own
Darcy R on Aug 1, 2016
These CD-ROMs are SO helpful! I love the way the examples are taught. They are different examples than the ones in the book; if you need extra help, you can always go to the book examples as well. And there are some great life-skill and character-building tips and insights worked into the lessons (like doing your work diligently for the glory of God)! SO thankful for these DIVE disks!!

It had good reviews.

My son and I loved the 6/5 CD, and are looking forward to this one!
Ruthie W on Jul 17, 2016
Homeschooling my daughter, we've done Saxon math before with my older daughter and thought it was well designed. Looking forward to trying it again with my younger daughter and include these videos.

Is this product compatible with the Saxon 7/6 Homeschool Fourth Edition?
A shopper on Dec 26, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes. The product I purchased was to go with the Saxon 7/6 Homeschool 4th edition. It looked different than the product shown here. I purchased a D.I.V.E. CD. Apparently they have updated things, but it's the same teacher and same lessons that I used, just more options for use and a better format. The syllabus suggested ways to schedule the classes/lessons/tests to go along with the curriculum. My student liked it alot, because we could skim through lessons we already knew and redo lessons we didn't quite get the first time. Hope this is helpful!
