[quote=Anonymous]We’ve used all three at various times. Beast Academy: This is a complete math curriculum with both a comic book style text and workbook. It doesn’t really matter if you are reviewing material in it, as every chapter starts basic and gets very thoughtful and challenging. It’s my favorite of the three, by far, for enrichment, but it almost requires a degree of parental involvement. It’s hands down the most fun for kids that enjoy math as it contains a variety of games, puzzles, and challenges in addition to Pure calculation. Khan Academy: Khan is good for preteaching or review, as it contains teaching videos, problem explanations, and is pretty easy to navigate to specific topics. Like IXL, It’s 100% online. It’s broad, but not very deep. I’d use it if your kid was having trouble on a particular concept. You can rework sections, but, if you just work through it, you only complete 5 or 6 problems of a particular problem type. IXL: this was assigned by our school a few years ago, and our least favorite. I think there is some teaching material in there, but it’s mostly drill, drill, drill. It was great, for us, for multiplication tables and other pure rote tasks, but not a good enrichment tool.[/quote]
