Saxon Math 76 - 6th Grade

The topics covered in Saxon Math 76 include review and reinforcement of concepts and skills from 54 and 65. New concepts include some that will be needed in upper level algebra and geometry courses. Some new concepts include simplifying expressions containing parentheses; exponents and square roots; geometric formulae; adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing signed numbers.

Saxon’s signature incremental approach and spiral review is also used in Saxon Math 76. New concepts are broken into small incremental parts and introduced gradually, one part at a time. There is daily review in the problem sets, which consist of a mixture of previously introduced problem types. Anything from previous lessons or even previous books is fair game.

Saxon Math books have a consistent reputation for helping students get high scores on standardized tests.

The lesson-practice-problem set format of Saxon Math 76 makes teaching easy. The explanations are clear and facilitate independent study by the student. The solutions manual is not just an answer key, but contains fully worked out problems so that teachers have an easier time grading students’ work. There are no special requirements to teach Saxon Math.
