Just finished going through websites and apps recommended here and decided to not let our child on any for now. He doesn't need to see multiple choice being offered or equations that are written out for him. He needs to write them out and practice his numbers.
I also found the Khan Academy videos painful to watch.

20+33=53 for example. Write them side ways and below each other.
Start with the easier ones - smaller numbers and anything with tens. Show him how 2+2=4, 3+3=6 and how it just skipped 5 as an answer. Write them all out for his eyes to see, think about it and discuss.

this is a perfect example of why I value professional teachers and don't kid myself that I can home school

So, you can or you can't?

Seriously--yikes.

Op, here. Thank you for the feed back. Do play lots of games and do hands on activities that involve numbers and math skills. (Same for letter and reading) Having a spread of ages in our house we are trying learn how they teach math and the learning process now in school. It definitely seem different then the way I was thought as a kid. Hence the apps/videos that might shows kids and parents process and way to teach/think about the problems. We will have DCPS and charter kids (currently foster parents) so trying to learn how to support homework and get kids caught up and working closer to grade level. Of course while including all the hands on fun learning as well as a little screen time lessons.

I highly recommend Go Math G for K - 2nd.

DCPS uses Eureka Math. For Kahn academy cannot use the app, need to use website to access some of the topics. they have a Mastery version now. Go to math, then grade level, then find Eureka math. Our rising 6th grader has a way to enter a code for coach so the school can follow the progress.
