Dmmetler Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 $49/yr with code SUMMER13. I noticed this on DD's when I went in to print her Gold certificate for her, and I know a few people had asked about it on a prior thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Could you please let us know what Mathletics is? Is it like a competition or is it a training program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 It's an online math program, with leveled tasks (gold bars) and live timed competition. It's also the software used for the American (and other country-specific) math challenge and the Math component of the world Education games. My DD really likes the live component, and it's nice to be able to customize her course of study so it focuses on what she needs, . There are also a ton of printables. It was discussed as part of a thread on online options awhile back, so I thought I'd post the deal when I got the e-mail today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tress Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Dmmetler, can you tell me more about how you are able to customize? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 You can pick your child's grade and course, and then, within the course, go in an add/delete tasks, mark as completed, or assign them to where they have to be completed before the child can move on. I'm using the Singapore Standard middle school course for DD now since it's integrated math vs the US breakdown that she has in her other materials, which gives her different topics. You can change the course 6x/yr (as far as actual grade level etc) for a home subscription, and the assigning/mark as complete does not count as a change. I don't know that it's the most rigorous math program, and it's definitely reinforcement, not teaching, but DD really likes it, and it seems to do a good job of giving her "cute" and "fun" while also giving her the higher level content, and as she moves into middle/high school content, something that still has cute characters and animations is helpful.

Tress Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Dmmetler, thanks! I suddenly remembered having asked you this same question before :sleep: . I apparently keep going back and forth every couple of months :willy_nilly:. It could be great for my kids, it could totally flop. Some years they have been very active with the World Math Day games, other years not so much. Now my 4yo has joined us, a subscription for 3 kids is 99pounds, which is a lot of money. Ahhhh, the indecision..... I don't know that it's the most rigorous math program, and it's definitely reinforcement, not teaching, but DD really likes it, and it seems to do a good job of giving her "cute" and "fun" while also giving her the higher level content, and as she moves into middle/high school content, something that still has cute characters and animations is helpful. This I totally understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
