    My son used Sunshine Math before. It was promising but my son just could not keep going page after page by himself without a lot parent’s supervision. Sometimes I agree that it was rather dry working on those math problems. We quit after three months. His teacher then recommended Beestar’s online free math program to us. To my surprise, he likes to use it a lot.
    He receives Beestar’s math practice every week. The questions are very interesting and representative, covering almost all math concepts from his textbook. The reward system does a great job of keeping kids motivated. It makes my son excited to get on the honor roll. It seems my son likes interactive online program much better than paper worksheets. He also meets some excellent students from nationwide. They have an online discussion group focused on math study. I can tell that he has gained strong interest in math. Now he is very confident in his math class. I feel so happy for him.
