Now through June 24, 2011, you can download a free 100-lesson beginning math computer program from Funnix.
This program is a 100-lesson computer program designed for children who have not learned beginning math operations, perfect for preschoolers or Kindergarten-aged children. While this is great for homeschoolers it would also be a great program to use during the summer to help make sure your child is ready for preschool or Kindergarten.
From the Funnix site:
Funnix Beginning Math is very user friendly. Like Funnix Reading, the math program is computer-based. Narrators direct the activities in each 35-minute lesson. A child or small group of children watch the computer screen with a parent or teacher. The children answer questions the narrator presents. The parent or teacher reinforces correct responses and directs the program to repeat parts that were difficult for the children.
This program usually costs $25.
Included with the download is 100 animated computer-based lessons, workbook material, a teaching guide, and a placement test for assessing the child.
We've downloaded this program and Emahry is already enjoying it. While the first few lessons have been very easy for her I know that we will soon beginning learning new concepts.
The lessons are straightforward and very user-friendly. I love how new information is presented very slowly with lots of reviewing. The teacher's guide actually states that only 10% of each lesson is new material, so students are able to experience lots of reinforcement of previous skills and therefore lots of success.
