Glen and his dad both swear by Saxon Math so that's what I've been trying to go with. Someone was selling the K-2nd grade teacher manuals and student books plus the manipulatives at a fraction of the cost so was thrilled that I'd once again found a great deal on home schooling supplies. But every time I tried to be organized and follow the books, I'd find my kids were bored to tears and knew everything we were discussing so we gave up. I had no idea how to figure out what part of the book I should start with so we've been supplementing w/ workbooks just to say yes, we have been doing some math. On one of my favorite home school supply sites, I saw Saxon Math Placement Tests and finally printed it off this morning to assess where Andrew should be. I found out we'd been a few grades behind; no wonder he was so bored. Now we know where to begin and wanted to share. Download the test for free at
