My son is in high school and absolutely hates math. With Catch Up math he can go at his own pace and they keep teaching it until he gets it. Plus he has some control over when to do it and how hard to work to advance.

Catchup-Math is a program I am using during the summer months as a way for my daughter to practice the Pre-Algebra skills she was working on at the end of our schooling. I wanted to utilize a different approach to keep her interested. My daughter has Dyslexia and Sensory Processing Disorder, so it is often challenging to find curriculum that works for her. After taking the tour and doing the sample session, I decided to try it for three months.
We use Catch-up Math each morning. She has been excited (really!) about starting math. I hav...(more)

My daughter was languishing in math. She really struggled and we tried Saxon, Calvert, Thinkwell, and a variety of other programs to help her. It was not until she started using Catch Up Math that she really began to grasp math and act HAPPY about doing it. Sometimes I will find her doing math for fun! And now she comes in and says with a smile that she got a 90 on her test instead of that she failed AGAIN. Great program. We have decided to make this her math curriculum through high school.

When I found out that I was signed up for CatchUp Math I thought "Oh no! Not a math class! I hate math and the book that I used didn't explain it at all, so how could this class possibly help me?" Little did I know that this was to be one of the most helpful courses that I had ever done! I began the course by reviewing the math that I had already done and anything that I didn't understand was explained clearly. After finishing the review lessons, I moved on to the math that I was struggling with. Only once did I ever have to ask one of my p...(more)

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)

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.

When we started homeschooling two of our kids starting in their 6th grade year, we found strange gaps in some pretty basic areas of math. My son is capable of pretty complex mathematical thinking, yet he would get stuck on things like how to add fractions. After homeschooling him for 2 years and my daughter for 1 year, I decided we had to fix those gaps before we could move on.
Catch-up Math (which my kids call "MUSTARD MATH") is perfect for this. It provides lessons followed by a good amount of practice - not too much, but more than t...(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.

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)
