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 like how Catchup Math finds where the student needs help and then proceeds to teach lesson by lesson. The student then works a series of problems. If their answer is incorrect, they are given the explanation right then so they can work through the problem at the time instead of later. They will take a quiz on what they have studied and if necessary Cathup Math again reviews the operation until the student masters it. My son has always struggled with math and seems to enjoy this program.

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.

I purchased Catchup-Math out of sheer desperation! When my son was young it was obvious that he had a mind for math and numbers. He started playing Monopoly with the whole family when he was 4 and by the time he was 5 he was the banker, needed no help totaling amounts and making change in his head, and would beat the pants off everyone. This continued until Geometry~~ugh!!
I was always in honors and AP math but the teacher I had for 2 years that really made it work for me was very "outside the box". She was known for throwing the book on th...(more)

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.

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)

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.

My daughter has struggled with math for a while. She got overwhelmed with the Saxon program so we changed to another online math, but problems with online service as well as frustration with the program left her struggling more than ever. The program moved at too quick of a pace for her to process and it left her more lost than ever.
Catch-up Math was a last ditch effort to help her not be so lost in math. What a relief! I have never seen my daughter so excited about math! The lessons are short, tailor made for the student and helping...(more)

I purchased Catchup-Math for my daughter as a review before she takes the ACT again. She did very well on the ACT, scoring high enough to earn free college dual-credit classes this year as a senior in high school. However, if she raises her score just by a few points, she can earn.a full college scholarship.
My daughter tells me that this program is helping her review her weak areas, reinforcing concepts, helping her practice areas of concern. Since the ACT covers material from several grades, the fact that Catchup-Math covers grades 6-12...(more)

Catchup Math has greatly helped my high school son. He was a reluctant math student to say the least. With Catchup, he is actually catching up in areas of weakness. Some days he even does extra math. It's no longer a time-consuming, frustrating ordeal. We are thankful.
