The lessons are very engaging and include some animation, learning games, and video clips. The program captures their interest and helps them want to learn the material.
Switched on Schoolhouse Math is user friendly and lets you assign work, delete an entire unit if you want to and provides you with all the information you need about your child's progress. The parent can assign the days that they want work assigned. Many things on this program can be customized. You can set your own theme and make personalized screens. You can view exactly what is assigned for each day and see if your child is staying on track. The best part is that there is no grading or record keeping except for grading projects or paragraphs.
The student sees exactly what they need to do each day and week and are free to work ahead if they like. The program is biblically based and uses mastery learning to make sure the student learns the material.
