Has anyone used both Rod and Staff Mathematics and Saxon Math and can compare them?
We have used Saxon for years. My seventh grade daughter is in Saxon Algebra 1 and doing fine.
My third grade son is in Saxon 5/4 and doing okay with the concepts when we do them together but the lengthy practice problems wear him out and he seems to have real gaps in his math facts that are not going away with flash cards. He also seems to have trouble doing math independently. I printed out the placement test for R&S math to see where he falls and am wondering about going a different route with him, even for a short time. It’s not that he doesn’t like Saxon, but I don’t want to keep using it and then realizing we should have done something else years ago.
