The 2nd grade math curriculum is divided into 15 chapters and each chapter is broken down into sub-chapters. Each sub-chapter has an oral lesson with visuals to explain the concept. At the end of each lesson there are examples for your child to complete, these are done on the computer. If your child gets a problem wrong, it is explained to him again. After completion of the lesson and examples, you can print off a worksheet, solution guide and/or answer key for more practice. Exams and Exam Solution Guides are available at the end of each chapter, as well as cumulative review exams to cover topics encompassing more than one chapter. These printed worksheets are to be graded and tracked by the parent.
Parents are able to easily track students work by following and maintaining the Lesson Plan provided with the Premium Edition CD. The Lesson Plan also gives an outline of which worksheets, tests, reviews to give and when.
The lessons are also available in print form with the Curriculum Book included on the CD Software.
My son enjoyed this software, he loved the exercises at the end of each sub-chapter, and the instant gratification of knowing if he got the answer right or wrong. The only thing this math program is missing for younger grades is manipulatives! My son is a tactile learner, especially in math, and the lack of manipulatives was frustrating to him, so we substituted our own. The first time he sat down to this program, he was also frustrated by not knowing HOW MANY exercises he had to complete at the end of each lesson. Once he realized there were only a small handful (b/w 8-10 problems), he was a lot less distraught.
My son loves to work on the computer, and after overcoming the two downsides of the program, he really enjoyed his math lessons with A+ Interactive Math!
I would definitely recommend this program to others, particularly for those in older grades or those who are more visual and auditory learners in the area of math. Though with a simple addition of their own manipulatives, this program is easily adaptable to all learning styles!
