The pedagogy used in Saxon Math is unique, effective, and research based. The authors of the Saxon Math series recognized that smaller pieces of information are easier to deliver and easier to learn. Rather than grouping topics into chapters, they separated complex concepts into increments and distributed them throughout each grade level. The result is a distributed approach in which instruction, practice, and assessment of concepts recur continually.

The Focus On Earth Science student textbook contains comprehensive content that introduces students to key earth science concepts including energy, plate tectonics, weathering, earthquakes, volcanoes, and ecosystems. The text also integrates important ideas in science such as heat, density and buoyancy. Reading strategies are built right into the text to aid comprehension. Science information is presented as one idea per page while content-rich illustrations and diagrams are found next to the relevant text. Easy-to-find main headings, sub-headings and side notes guide students through the content.
