[quote=Anonymous]Mathspace is horrible!

My kids are excellent at math, and they came to me frustrated beyond belief over it.

They showed me how it worked, and how it fails them at every step of their work over things as simple as an extra space on the line.  This program should not be used, period!  It doesn't work, and will only turn kids away from math!

As for no textbooks, I can't understand how any child can achieve at math without a physical textbook?   Yes, they can look things up online, or use the klunky online textbook, but if they want to help the kids achieve at math you need a physical textbook!

What is worse (and worse for the trees), is that the teachers have compensated a bit by handing out printouts every day of the materials. By the end of the year, the kids have 2 textbook thickness of handouts from the teachers.  This has got to cost more than a text book to print out every year for every student.

If anyone has connections, PLEASE, get them to get rid  of Mathspace!!![/quote]
