The books in the Blue Series are worktexts: they contain both explanations and exercises. In other words, it is like a textbook and a workbook together.
Each book concentrates on a few interconnected topics, and may thus be suitable to one, two, or even three different grade levels (please see the chart below). They are especially good for remedial or supplemental work, and can work as part of a complete curriculum as well.
The books were originally designed for grades 1-5, but since the typical US curriculum is very similar in 5th and 6th grades, several of the books are usable even for 6th grade topics.
As always, the books can be bought in the downloadable PDF form, and you print the pages you need, when you need. Alternatively, these books are ALSO available in printed form via Lulu.com.
Blue Series Package: You can get ALL 23 books above - the whole BLUE SERIES - for $53 (download) or $58 (on CD). This gives you over 1,130 lesson and practice pages.
Read what my customers say:
The Blue Series
"...books are very easy to understand. Explanations very clear!"
"I LOVE YOUR PRODUCTS! Your approach to math is thorough and explicit -- simply great."
"...well set out, logical and easy to use..."
"It's working very well! ... We wanted something that worked according to the principle of mastery, which explained/demonstrated what was expected of the pupil, and assisted the parent in teaching. ... I love the way the pages are laid out - clear, attractive, appropriately colourful yet not cluttered and filled with distracting cartoon characters.
It's great value for money, and I love the ebook concept allowing us to print out the sheets we want, or the whole book according to what we need."
"I like their simplicity. They are cost effective and seem to have enough drill and practice."
"...they did all the teaching for me..."
"These books have allowed me to have more time with my family outside of work hours. The preparation of worksheets as you are aware are very time consuming and I have never found any books that have as much detail in explaning concepts and providing practice questions as your books do."
"...Very easy to follow, nice examples, nice mix of problems. Good flow for my kids' pace..."
"...I really like how easy these books make it to teach the kids their math. I also like that I have the ability to jump from grade to grade depending on where the kids need practice."
"...The format and content is very logical and clearly presented."
"These books have allowed for a lot of flexibility, yet they are well structured so you know they are learning and can track and grade their progress easily. Math isn't complicated, and I appreciate finding a resource that reinforces that concept to my children... and at a fantastic price too!"
"I also like the freedom it gives me to move around in the series if the student misses a vital step, going back to fill in what should have been learned but was missed - and doing that without the child feeling threatened with the shame of lower grade work since it is just the next page to him."
"I love the way a new concept is introduced and then practiced, practiced, practiced! My kids hated Saxon, because it would introduce a new concept, then only give them 5 problems to do to go with the new concept then the rest of the lesson was a review from previous lessons. By the next day, they forgot the concept that they had learned the day before and were really lost after having to learn a new concept that day."
