Imagine with me if you would, a math program that targets the particular needs in a given students math journey. Enter in A+ Interactive Math with their new Math Mini-Courses, of which we reviewed Elementary Geometry and Elementary and Middle School Division. These math lessons worked well.
Having reviewed A+ Interactive Math a couple of times in the past, i was pretty sure what I could expect with these courses, and expected initial enthusiasm from my son which would quickly wane as he found things about the course that he didn't like.
To my surprise, I didn't run into this at all with the 19 lessons he took in Elementary Geometry. I even received comments of "Mom, this is easy", "Mom, is it time to do my math yet?" Or "Mom, all I have left to do is math right?".
You have to understand something.. math is NOT high on my son's list of priorities AT ALL, so to have positive comments from him or even eagerness to finish his math lessons is simply a delight.

How doesA+ Interactive Math work?
After inputting your students password they are greeted with this page. It took my boy only two reminders to use the Launch button. This would open the mini course in a new window.

The window opens landing on this page with interactive buttons directing the students to their next stop. My son always clicked on the video lessons.
Video lessons brings you to this page, where it is important to click on the file folder which opens up each lesson. It won't open up the next lesson until you close out the previous lesson. At the end of each lesson you need to mark off the box at the top of each lesson saying completed.
The lessons are interactive. Teaching you one basic concept and then having a quiz afterwards. My son was required to do 80% or higher on the lesson. If he did so I considered the material understood, no additional work required. This gave him the incentive to pay attention. Verbal testing later worked well (narrating lesson to me). :)

One of their neat features is the ability to view the lessons as PDF's. I had my lad do this for one lesson. He liked that he could read it himself but found the interactive lessons much quicker to go through and he remembered the information better for the quiz that follows each lesson. (as evidenced by the 75% in lesson three).
If you choose to let your child do the on-line worksheets, they are easy to generate and are listed by topic title as per the lesson page. These same quizzes and tests are also available as PDF's. I was glad to see that option. The answer guides are included. They have done such a great job in making sure that each student can learn in the way best suited for them.
When a lesson is completed this page will be shown, giving the results of the quiz. If you want to you can print off a certificate. My son never chose this option saying "Mom, it's wasting paper, I know I did it". Isn't it nice though to have that option?

These mini courses are great. They close learning gaps in math for students in an interactive way that grabs their attention. My son is much more confident in his geometry skills than he was previously. He did work briefly with the division program as I asked him to do so, but preferred to focus his attention on geometry. He found the division courses as step by step as the geometry one.
We are considering adding these mini courses as he finishes these two.
It certainly worked well with my math-unfriendly lad and i couldn't be more pleased.
