Saxon Math

Math-U-See vs. Saxon Math K-3, and the Texas ESA first-wave enrollment numbers

Two heritage homeschool math programs, graded on the same rubric. Plus the Texas Comptroller's first-wave enrollment report for SB 2 ESA, the South Carolina ESA reauthorization vote, and the dispatch.

Issue 03 covered Singapore Math Dimensions versus RightStart Mathematics, the two strongest mastery-with-conceptual-depth programs. Issue 05 covered All About Reading versus Logic of English Foundations, the two strongest phonics programs. Issue 06 covers the two heritage scripted math programs that elementary homeschool families have used for two decades: Math-U-See from Demme Learning and Saxon Math K through 3 from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Both spiral, both scripted, both available used at scale. Both produce strong arithmetic outcomes on the standardized-test metrics that homeschool co-ops report. They are not interchangeable, and the differences are bigger than the front cover suggests. Plus: the Texas Comptroller's first-wave SB 2 enrollment report covering March through May 2026, the South Carolina ESA reauthorization Senate vote, and the weekly policy dispatch.
