[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD stated using ST Math today. She was working on it while I preparing lunch for her. It is strange that ST Math does not have any directions? She failed at one problem twice, i think, and have to start from the beginning. She finally solved this problem and solved several other problems. Then unfortunately, somehow she had to start over again. I am confused seeing her repeating the problems she already did correctly. This thing does not make sense.[/quote]

We had this experience too - I hate the lack of directions!  I struggled to help my 1st grader figure out what to do because it was so poorly designed.  We used dreambox last year and it was SO much better.  I strongly dislike ST, and won't let my kid use it during choice time/asynch unless the teacher says we have to.[/quote]

I think it's a lot better than Dreambox, so teachers can't win with parents. And it doesn't need directions. Kids can figure it out. [/quote]

Here's what I've found.  Kids eventually figure out how to get through the game.  The problem is that if they're asked what they learned, they can't articulate anything that's even remotely related to what they're supposed to learn.  Mostly, what they've learned is to manipulate objects to get through the game, and not a darn thing beyond that.[/quote]
