My oldest son is 7, almost 8, and we're in his 4th year of homeschooling. He's relatively advanced---reading proficiently with good retention. He generally seems to be excelling in this "upper grammar" stage of his education, and typically is easy to keep motivated. We've been using Saxon Math from the beginning, and it's been very good. I like the layout and repetition. Math is not my strength, nor something I enjoy, but we've been successful so far. We're finishing Saxon 3, and will be starting Saxon 5/4 soon. Being on the cusp of the new book, I took some time this morning to browse through it, and I've decided our strategy is going to need to change after book 5/4. Our family size is going to be growing significantly in the next year, as will the number of children I'm schooling, and for our family's good, I'd like to try something more "self-taught," perhaps even an online computer-based curriculum for him. What good options are out there for upper grammar students finishing Saxon 5/4? Again, I think he would do fine with something computer based, and self-paced.
