[quote=Anonymous]If you basically like the environment at your IB DCPS or DC Charter school for elementary or middle school, and the price tag, but doubt that your DC is being pushed or challenged in math, these days, there are various affordable on-line resources available to supplement in-school instruction.

We find that on-line programs are cheaper and easier to use than hiring tutors to help ensure that a bright, math-minded kid doesn't fall behind students in privates or suburban G/T programs.  Most of these programs use diagnostic tests so you know where to start.

In the last several years, our 6th grade son has done some work on most of these on-line programs on evenings and weekends:

KUMON MATH
SAXON MATH
KHAN ACADEMY MATH
SINGAPORE MATH
TUTORVISTA (company in India):  Ages 6 through college, $100/month for 3-5 hours on-line tutoring per week; great deal and company.

We'll look at Wilson and SWW for high school, but don't expect to find the same quality we've found in a charter elementary and middle school (Two Rivers).
