I am soliciting opinions on behalf of a friend who doesn't use the computer much thus I am the discussion board person, not her.
My dd9 used EPGY's math program last year, which we really liked. I recommended it to df for her dc as well and they used it for part of the year but felt that it wasn't as good of a fit for their needs.
Df is feeling somewhat unable to fully teach math at this point (her dc is a 6th grader) and may want a computer math program similar to EPGY but more simple. Her issues with EPGY primarily centered around her dc not being an accelerated math student and her feeling like there were too many concepts.
Honestly, her preferred approach would be to cover one topic at a time for some time (like fractions for a month with little else). I know that spiraling is a popular concept with math curriculums right now, so I'm not sure if she's going to find something that takes that approach.
She is going to have her dc do Let's Go Learn's online basic math assessment (DOMA) for grades K-5. She is probably a bit behind in math at this point, so 5th grade math is probably what she needs right now. We're trying to ascertain if their Unique Math online program might be a good fit for what she wants after the assessment piece (http://www.letsgolearn.com/lglsite/Unique_Math/parents/).
Has anyone used this program and what did you think of it if so?
