| I have a second grader that works on 4th grade level math and a 6th grader that works on 2nd grade math level. Does ST math adjust to their levels? I assume they start off at the level they are supposed to be at, but one will be bored to death and the other won’t be able to do it. |

| It sucks. It does adjust, but it has a fairly glitchy interface which drove my kids crazy because it kept making them repeat easy levels due to click errors. It eventually became like groundhog day, and they refused to do it anymore. |

ITS HORRRRRRRRRRRIBLE
my fifth grader started with a place value pretest. he scored everything correctly. it still started him on this place value game involving flower petals. even though he 100% knows the topic. then the game seemed to get stuck for days on the same flower petal game. he got frustrated and refused to log in. my sixth grader in AAP math...started with plotting "2" on a number line. |

| Yes - ST math will adjust. It was also written by people who have a learning disability and it was made to support all learners which is why there are no written directions. |

the lack of written directions wastes kids time and attention. if they are clicking to play the game "wrong" it adds a ton of time playing the same "game" even if they are 100% knowledgeable on a very easy topic (like pp's kid with place value). |

Sorry, it's crap. |

exactly same thing with my fourth grader with the place value. he flatly refused to log back in after three hours of moving petals around for a subject he completely understands. |

| My fifth grader started at ratios which is the topic that was introduced last week. |

| so the teachers can set where the app starts at or what topics it covers? |

| 4th and 3rd grader started in the same position. The amount of repetition is insane- if a kid gets a concept, they don't need to do basically the same thing for another 15 minutes. We're 40 minutes in and still doing flower petal place value. Will probably call it quits soon |

Teachers told us that we didn't need instructions because it was so easy to play but I couldn't figure it out. No one could figure it out. We needed instructions.

| why spend money on this when kahn academy is high quality and free? five minutes on kahn academy is more instructional than hours with this moronic penguin from hell. |

| They bought this so the kids would have something to fill their many open hours at home when they were doing hybrid. Then they already spent the money so might as well waste kids time with it anyway. |

i just watched my AAP 4th grader who also started on place value and just spend 30 minutes rearranging petals. I thought this was a math program not vocational training for florists.
What a hot mess. She would have learned more in 5 minutes on Kahn. |
