## Resource

Check the What About Homeschooling Website: www.whatabouthomeschooling.com Mentioned is this episode: Saxon Math at christianbook.com DIVE and Shorman Math Saxon placement tests Robinson Curriculum Homeschool classifieds for used homeschool books. In this episode of The Brave and Balanced Homeschool, we dive into Saxon Math, a secular curriculum known for its structured, incremental approach with plenty of review. While Saxon is not a Christian-based program, it is a solid, traditional math curriculum that has been used in public schools and by homeschoolers alike. If you’re confident in math or willing to learn alongside your child, Saxon Math is a fantastic, proven curriculum. However, if you prefer more structured teaching support, DIVE or Shorman Math may be better options—especially for higher-level math. Or you can look into how Art Robinson taught his children, or rather how they taught themselves, using Saxon Math.
