My daughter has been using this site beestar for 2 years. The math programs are full of all real life problems, challenging stuff to help kids thinking. My child loves and supports it. I think it is nice and easy to use. Plus, beestar is for primary kids. I think it will help you guys later. :biggrin:

I’ve used a variety of websites/workbooks for my students from Singapore Math, Beestar, Khan, Kumon etc., and each of them have their own positive qualities. I think that KA definitely helps when students need to remember quickly how to approach math problems. Kumon definitely helps with drill practices. However, neither of these options provide students with a reward system other than Beestar. Beestar is a combination of both teaching math in a more creative way combined with giving students a sense of accomplishment. Beestar is definitely helpful for students that have been struggling with math and need a good confidence boost.
I used Khan Academy, IXL and StudyPug Math now. Surprisingly, for kids, maybe youtube videos can also work. I used Math Antics to very resounding success with my very young one.
I think when they are younger, videos and engaging content that entertains works. But as they get older, concept videos and detailed practice gets better results.
And of course, I have to be taught at the same time to be able to teach back! :rolleyes:
I’ve found that using Maths based games is always a great starting point. Making learning fun can make it seem as if you aren’t learning at all. Then when you child is a bit older (around 3-4),
i’ve found using sites like https://www.khanacademy.org/ and https://tutora.co.uk/search/maths can be great ways to explore new ways of learning, to find which way suits your child best.
Hello All,
I am really interested in teaching our boys math with the Soroban.
I find that engaging tech PLUS practical tangible application works best for theirs learning style.
Does anyone know what this program is? I have search everywhere and can not find it.

Thank you very much. I have many useful information from that :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
Thanks guys! Very useful info.
I read some reviews about the Marshmallow Math book and also another one - Preschool Math at home by Kate Snow. Not sure which one should I go for.
Does anyone have experience with these 2 books and what’s your thoughts on them?
Thanks.
