Gwen in VA Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 For various reasons, my younger son needs some hefty math review of algebra and geometry. I believe that there are two online math programs out there, one you pay by the month and another one. I know one has a funny name. I am doing a total blank on the names. Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about? I always intended to bookmark the website but somehow I never needed the program until now......

Grace is Sufficient Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The one you pay by month is ALEKS. Can't help you with the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in VA Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Yes! Thank you! I kept on thinking it started with a "K", but yup, Aleks is it. Much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiddenJewel Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I really like ALEKS. Here is my review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 The other one was probably Kinetic Books. They have only Algebra I and Algebra II right now. They are working on Pre-algebra. It is computer-based, but it has only one sequence, unlike aleks. My kids have tried aleks and hated it. I know a family with kids who all love it (as much as they would love any math program). My kids hated it from the very first moment. My 11yo sobbed all the way through the assessment and one day of using the program after the assessment. I gave up at that point. My 14yo lasted almost 2 weeks with it. My two older girls have used Kinetic Books and loved it though. My middle dd used KB for Algebra I. My oldest used KB for Algebra II while it was still in beta. My middle is eagerly awaiting the end of geometry so she can go back to Kinetic Books for Algebra II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
