Educational Software- Math Practice for Kids

For the purpose of this blog an education software tool was researched and will be evaluated. This software is referred to as the #1 Math Practice. It contains practice in Math from Pre-K to Sixth Grade children. Each age group is now separated with a list of topic from counting dots, identifying shape names, graphs, multiplication and even place value.

This software helps to boost children’s mental math skills and confidence by motivating them to do an incredible number of math problems quickly. The fun, award-winning format is effective because it detects even the smallest improvements and constantly gives positive reinforcement.
I think this educational software would be quite useful for children who have a difficulty with Math as well as those who enjoy doing this subject. This software is a great learning tool and best of all it's free so parents can allow students to work at home.
