My daughter is using Catchup-Math, the 1-year subscription. She will be entering 9th grade and has a severe math deficiency. She is currently working through the concepts that have been identified as weak.
I love the format as it uses written and video explanations of the concept, 10 practice problems, a 3 problem quiz with an extra practice quiz. It provides fact flash cards which is a helpful review.
It is self-paced and self-corrects. Parents can get a report of the progress under the help menu. So far, so good.

I homeschool my niece and she hated doing math worksheets. She was more than a year behind her grade level. She would spend two hours working on a single page and just not get it. She had many holes in her learning that kept popping up. This program has been perfect for her. She willingly spends one hour a day working on it. She really likes the games that are in it. It is finding all the holes and helping her fill them in better than our old curriculum did.

My son made A's and B's in math, but he struggled remembering from year to year. As he was prepping for the SAT--he kept saying that he knew this but he couldn't remember all the steps. Catchup Math helped him review and improve his SAT score.

We have been using Catcthup-Math for about a week now. My son loves it! We used ALEKS for 2 years and he thought it was redundant and often presented in a childish manner.
My son's best review, "they explain how to solve the problem, not just keep giving you the same problem over and over..."
Good value, tutors here are $45/hr. Also was easy to sign-on. We had to wait about 7 business days for our initial sign-on information, but once on-line was worth the wait.

After using a huge variety of programs and texts to help my son, Catchup-Math has provided the positive reinforcement and helped focus him on his exact needs.

I purchased catchup-math to help my child who was struggling to succeed. I wasn't certain what needed to be covered to help him feel more positive about his progress in math. Catchup-math is helping me to just that. The diagnostic testing done helped determine where the deficiencies in his education were and we are now moving forward.

Catchup-Math has been a very effective method to help my son catch up on his math credits. It provides exactly what he needs. The lessons are clear and he is able to practice the topics he is struggling with. He is not spending extra time practicing things he already understands. It is ideal for our purposes and we will continue to use it this year.

I started homeschooling my daughter when she was in seventh grade. As she worked on the pre-algebra curriculum, I was using at the time, she seemed to understand the concept that was being presented, but would have difficulty with the problems because she had a lot of holes in her basic math skills. I purchased Catch-up math to determine where these holes were and to fill them in with strong math skills.
Catch-up math has been perfect for this purpose. Now, instead of dreading doing her math, she does it early in the day. She is never ...(more)

My daughter has been using Catchup-Math for three weeks and she likes math again. The program is easy to use. She feels her program last year offered too many suggestions on how to complete problems and it was confusing. Catchup-Math teaches concepts, reinforces to ensure mastery and moves on. She is flying through concepts she struggled with last year. I am suggesting it to every homeschooler I know.

I purchased catchup math for two of my children one that likes math and one that dreads math. So far I have been pleases with the progress they are both making. My son is gaining so much so quickly - I am very tickled! My daughter is moving slower through the work but she isn't emotional about at all because she knows she will just work it until she gets it and then move on. I wish I had done this earlier. My children are middle school age and I appreciate that it gives me a better place to start from when helping them with math. Thank you Catc...(more)
