We're absolutely loving the trial The time my kids take to do math has been cut in half and their accuracy has improved tremendously. My 10th grader said, "Where has Nicole the Math Lady been all my life?" In just a few days it has restored her love of math. I wish I would have found this at the beginning of the year.
