Saxon Math Course 3 is a comprehensive math textbook designed for 7th or 8th-grade students, intended to be used after the completion of either Saxon Math 8/7 or Course 2 and before entering Algebra 1. Saxon Math uses a spiral approach, employing incremental development of new math concepts and continuous review of previous concepts. This book consists of 120 lessons plus 10 investigations organized into 12 sections (see table of contents below).

Each lesson includes practice exercises and problem sets, along with cumulative reviews to ensure students have a firm understanding of previously covered material. The book provides ample opportunities for students to develop their problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities, making it a valuable resource for both teachers and students. Additionally, the book includes real-world applications of mathematical concepts, encouraging students to see the relevance of math in everyday life. Overall, the book aims to prepare students for high school math courses.

Note: This book appears to have been discontinued by the publisher. My Math Assistant recommends using Saxon Algebra 1/2 instead of Course 3 if your student needs more preparation before moving to Saxon Algebra 1.
