Sarah0000 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 We tried the trial of math seeds and he enjoyed that format. Its designed for his age. But he placed in nearly at the end, and most of the lessons were wildly too easy, although he did get introduced to a few new things like ten frames. He very briefly tried Clever Dragons during the free summer trial. While some of the content was a better fit, he was not interested in actually playing it. It just wasn't engaging to him. He really likes starfall, but I'd like to find something that targets math facts practice. We have RS games but neither of us have been feeling that lately, plus I'm about to be very busy for the next several months. Anything out there? He can use a mouse but not most of the keyboard, and we have an Android tablet. He also reads at a first grade level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Look at Dreambox. It uses an on-screen abacus and coordinates well with some of the RightStart stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamppost Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I second the ST Math suggestion. But you should buy through Homeschool Buyers Co-op: https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/stmath/?source=138339 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegs Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 My 5yo enjoys Khan early math, but is halfway through after only playing twice, so I'm listening in for suggestions also. :) Something we've done for facts practice, which has been surprisingly independent work, is using a couple of dice or a pack of playing cards. DS draws two cards at a time, and then either adds them, subtracts one from the other, or multiplies them. I choose an operation for the day, and he writes the equations as he goes. For a younger child you might prefer to use stamps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertflower Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 For something fun, my kids enjoyed dragonbox. http://dragonboxapp.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomatHWTK Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 My DS likes Splash Math, we purchased the all-levels access so he could move forward at his own pace. MoreStarfall.com also kept him busy for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonhawk Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Excited to try some of the above suggestions. :) Splash Math has multiple levels/grades. We got the bundle version as well. After you sign up for the trial version, you will get emails asking you to buy the full one. If money is an issue you can wait a bit and the sale price tends to get better. There are drill apps we use, Math Cards, Flash to Pass, AB Math Lite, but these aren't games as much as flash card apps. For games, Power of 2, Todo Math (has some stuff very very easy, but my son seems to like it), Math Rocketeer. On most of these, they are more game than math, but sometimes that is what you are wanting. Turbo Math is a pirate based math game; I don't know how much math is actually involved because we just got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah0000 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 Yes, I am looking for something that is more game than math. So far I've only looked at ST Math, which looks great but even with the discount is much more than I was intending to spend. I was thinking more around $50. He is only three and I still limit his screen time. I'd be more willing to spend more when he's older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
