Challenging program that promotes higher level thinking in math

My Take

My overall opinion is that this is an excellent supplement to the core math curriculum. It is very challenging, and students need to be taught how to think, which this program does. I like the wide array of motivational techniques and tools, and the opportunity for students to track their own progress toward their goals. Also, the data provided to the teacher is exceptional. On the other hand, some of the instructional screens are a little wordy. The students see all those words, and sometimes paragraphs, on one page and they decide it is too much and choose to skim it, which is not effective. The content is too involved to be skimmed. Reading it quickly instead of carefully decreases student comprehension.
