I admit I am always suspect of a great review when the program is being tested for free just for the purpose of reviewing.<br /><br />I have a friend who has long raved about ALEKS. Her kids are math whizzes, but they were that way before using the program. While I don't think it would work at my house for a few reasons, it is a great fit for others (and I don't mean just those with kids who are good at math).Kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713564000870166347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846019086778213773.post-33249274976327534422010-12-13T09:56:26.606-06:002010-12-13T09:56:26.606-06:00I really like ALEKS and used it for two years.

However we switched to Teaching Textbooks, which works better for us, for two reasons. One, instead of just giving you a screen with the concept that you have to read, TT actually talks you through the concept step-by-step. Two, the answers are also talked through step-by-step. My daughter and I both found the solutions on ALEKS to be somewhat difficult to understand, since they are just posted on the screen, without the progression or explanation of the solution process. I feel that TT takes a similar concept to ALEKS but does it a bit better.Sheri Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631876182465941822noreply@blogger.com
