The vids are free, and relatively short. Sal Khan does a fantastic job explaining concepts in easy-to-understand terms. You can easily look up any concepts with which your son is struggling, and just have him watch the vids for a few days or weeks.

But "os" is a typo, lol! I could not correct it on my tablet. It should be IS. [NT] - Angie in VA - 11:43:57 AM on 04/18/2012

Just finished the MUS Pre-Alg. comp. test...He failed:( - Greta Lea:) - 1:36:30 PM on 04/17/2012

Greta, did he do Math Rescue from systematic math? [NT] - Des - 2:16:58 PM on 04/17/2012

No, because he had already done SO much review with Key To (fractions, decimals and percent books) and ALEKS math online. [NT] - Greta Lea:) - 2:22:05 PM on 04/17/2012

How did he do with the other modules? Does he show his work? [NT] - Des - 2:59:12 PM on 04/17/2012

He does show his work, but on these last few modules he has not even know where/how to even BEGIN... - Greta Lea:) - 4:16:27 PM on 04/17/2012
