MusicMama Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I just found this online, and am completely fascinated. Has anyone used this before, and with any success with elementary grades? I think this would be a great tool for brushing up on my own math skills! http://www.khanacademy.org/video/khan-academy-exercise-software?playlist=Khan%20Academy-Related%20Talks%20and%20Interviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJCMom Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I just discovered it last week. I'm curious if anyone else likes it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcconnellboys Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I believe there are some folks on the middle school or high school boards using it. They've gotten some good reviews in magazines and online regarding the topic of open courseware. They have mostly math related things and a little science. I think their stuff looks very sound.

mom2denj Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 This is an awesome resource!!! I am completely fascinated that it is free. We started using it a few weeks ago. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I'm using it everyday for myself as a refresher. I blogged about it a few weeks ago. My daughter sees me excited about math, and now she's trying to learn multiplication. It's been a great influence, even if she's too young to use it everyday. There is a recent forum post of us talking about Khan Academy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cindie2dds Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 My husband and daughter love watching the videos together at night. They are short, concise and very easy to understand. Highly recommended! He's supposed to include a variety of other subjects in the future as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! We have used a lot of the chemistry and physics videos for science this year. I have a science degree, but I think he does a great job with his explanations! I haven't tried any of the math, but plan to keep using the science and will search math if ever we need clarification.
