I'm not a homeschooler, but I'd like to second your Saxon Math recommendation. Saxon started here in OK, and my daughter (now 16) started it in 1st grade. She has consistently scored three grade levels above her age, and when she transferred to the area's best prep school in 6th grade she was three semesters ahead of the kids there. It gives kids a great foundation on which to build, and even the children who struggled with other subjects seemed to thrive on Saxon math.
BTW, I was lucky enough to talk to Mr. Saxon himself on a local radio show a few years before his death, and he stressed that parents shouldn't waste money on computer games/programs that claim to teach math or spelling...said they simply cannot be taught in such a passive manner.
