Ella Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 My 5th grader has done the following math and I am trying to figure out where to go next. Saxon 3 (2nd) Saxon 5/4 (3rd) Saxon 6/5 (4th) Currently she is working through Saxon 7/6. So far in 7/6 she has learned nothing new. She has been copying problems onto graph paper since 3rd grade. I have thought about giving her a break from Saxon and having her do Horizons 5 and 6 and then into a prealgebra book in 7th. In some ways since she has done Saxon so long, I feel like using a different publisher might be good for her. I gave her the placement test for Horizons 5 and she tested fine for that, but there were some things that were phrased differently that I had to explain to her and it made me wonder if 2 years in Horizons would be good for her. She is a strong student, but I wouldn't say she is a math whiz. What would you recommend for 5th-8th grade? For now we are continuing with Saxon 7/6. Edited to say the reason I am re-evaluating mid-year is that she is now home full time after being in a 2-day school where the curriculum was dictated.
