StartingOver Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My daughter wants to switch to Saxon like her brother. I don't think it will last as she is my math child, and he is not. But willing to let her try. So should we finish Math Mammoth 2, or 3 before going to Saxon 5/4? I do have all of Math Mammoth as I think she will go back. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeritasMama Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This link has the PDF placement tests for Saxon, 54 is usually used in 4th grade so I would say if she passes the K-3 test she is ready for 54. Quite a few curriculum use programs such as MCP, abeka, or Singapore in grades K-3 and then switch to Saxon in 4th grade. http://www.learningthings.com/articles/saxon-math-placement-test.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My friend just switched her son this year to Saxon 5/4 after he finished Math Mammoth 3 and he's doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justified Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My son finished MM2B strong and was solid on his addition and subtraction facts and he jumped into Saxon 5/4. I didn't pretest him though. It just seemed like it would be an easy transition. We are at lesson 66 and I can't say I made a bad choice. He likes that he learns something new everyday and I like that he is always practicing problems from the previous lessons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StartingOver Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 That's what I am thinking will be best. Math Mammoth 2B to Saxon 5/4. She gets math really easy, so I think she will do fine. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
