Saxon's Math Intermediate 4 can be used in place of Saxon Math 5/4.
Saxon's incremental lessons provide daily practice and assessment in a "spiral" format; mathematical concepts are taught through informative lessons, diagrams, interactive activities, and investigations that build critical thinking as well as real-world problem solving skills. Saxon Intermediate 4 includes 12 sections, 120 lessons and 12 "investigations" with 1-2 activities each.
Textbooklessons are divided into three sections. The first section is "power-up practice," which is designed to improve speed, accuracy, the ability to do mental math, and the ability to solve complicated problems. The second part of the lesson is the "New Concept," which introduces a new math concept through examples. Thirdly, the "Written Practice" section reviews previously taught concepts through 25-30 problems in each lesson. One "Investigation" per 10-lesson section is included; "Investigations" are variations of the daily lesson and often involve activities that take up an entire class.
The included Power Up Workbook provides consumable pages for students to complete the facts practice, mental math, and problem-solving problems in the Power Up textbook section.
The Solutions Manual arranges answers by section and lesson, and includes complete step-by-step solutions to the Lesson Practice, Written Practice, and Early Finishers questions, as well as the questions and practice items in the Investigations. It does not contain the answers to the Power-Up Workbook, which are currently unavailable.
The Homeschool Testing Book features reproducible cumulative tests which are available after every five lessons after lesson 10. Tests, a testing schedule, test answer forms, test analysis form, and test solutions are included. The answer key shows the final solution only, not the steps taken to arrive at the answer.

There are also two additional resources that are available if desired, and are considered optional (BOTH SOLD-SEPARATELY): the Adaptations workbook is good for students with learning challenges, and includes space to write out all the work for the "Lesson Practice," "Written Practice," and "Investigations" problems in the Saxon Intermediate textbooks. Some questions are restated exactly as in the textbook, but for others, additional assistance such as bolded key words, restated questions, step-by-step leads or graphic helps, textbook page references, unit prompters, and other hints are provided. It does not include the "Power-Up" and "Early Finishers" problems.
The
Written Practice workbook (also sold-separately) is considered to contain the most important exercises in the Saxon Intermediate textbooks; it reprints the "Written Practice" exercises as well as the "Early Finishers" questions.
