[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1st grader has been working through grade 2 math on Khan Academy but finding some of the units are a bit too brief. Would like to try others. Suggestions? I've heard about Beast Academy but not sure how it compares to other options? Also interested in book recommendations. We have some Kumon books but they are worksheets without instruction. [/quote]

Here's what you need to know:

Kumon: Bad.
Beast Academy: Amazing.
Everything Else: Somewhere in between.[/quote]

Why is Kumon bad? the worksheets? But those have their place, no?

Also, what's amazing about BA? My understanding is that it's very gamified but maybe my impression is wrong? I don't want my kid to go through life needing everything to be games in order to be able to learn anything.

What is everything else and have you tried it? [/quote]

Sure Kumon and IXL have their place as does BA. A well-rounded math kid will probably be exposed to some of everything (but mostly BA).[/quote]
