Houghton Mifflin Harcourt is the publisher of Saxon Math and Singapore Math, both widely used in ACCS schools. Here is further information about each curriculum from the publisher:
Saxon Math in your classroom
- Incremental: Students have time to understand and practice the lesson
- Distributed: Students have time to practice and master previous concepts
- Cumulative: Students are ready for high stakes assessments.
For over 30 years, Saxon Math has been delivering proven results for students in Grades K–12. The Saxon Math curriculum has an incremental structure that distributes content throughout the year. This integrated and connected approach provides deep, long-term mastery of content and skills.
Math in Focus: Singapore Math in your classroom
- – Is research-based and focuses on classroom learning, discussion, and practice
- – Balances conceptual understanding, visual learning, and problem solving
Math in Focus is an authentic Singapore Math® curriculum—with problem solving as the center of math learning and concepts taught with a concrete–pictorial–abstract learning progression through real-world, hands-on experiences. Beyond the digital learning tools and apps that are native to the core program, Math in Focus® Digi+™ offers a complete online teaching and learning environment for students in Grades 1–5.
I see a lot of “home study” editions of Saxon Math, but is there one for school? Or are schools using the home study edition?
