[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Khan Academy - online and free. It will give you diagnostic tests, and then practice equations where there are holes. The video tutorials are really helpful. Khan Academy has been such a help to my DD - I donate to them now. What a great free resource.[/quote] This. The diagnostic test nailed my DC's skipped topics.[/quote] Then what? You work with a tutor to re-learn a year+ of material? What's the play-by-play and how do you nudge a teen to work on material they're no longer graded on? I'm just trying to figure out how to get a teen to tackle something a few times a week for no real payoff.[/quote] What do you mean "no real payoff"? Your kid doesn't understand his math and has goals that require understanding this math. The incentive is he either takes the steps to improve his performance or he is grounded (if he takes the steps and doesn't improve, then you reevaluate). Twice a week is plenty.[/quote]
