I am using Abeka Grade 4 right now and have taught in public schools using Saxon. Both are great programs but I found that Abeka is further advanced than Saxon. I looked at using Saxon when my daughter was in 3rd grade but decided against it because everything she learned in Abeka Grade 2 was being taught in Saxon Grade 3. There is lots of repetition in Abeka and I like that. That way I know she is retaining the concepts. However, Abeka isn’t as hands on as Saxon. I think it depends on your child’s learning style and how well they do in Math. I hope this helps!
