Website- www.learningupgrade.com

Our grade level, in math, recently received a grant in which membership to a website was purchased. The website is www.learningupgrade.com, and they have a free 7 day trial for those interested.
The kids love the website. It starts with basics as a review and moves up to the more complicated objectives. They use fun songs, tutorials, and then practice on this interactive site.
We just started a remediation process each afternoon with each student using self paced lessons. The format keeps the students engaged and even the most hard to keep focused students are focusing. The company uses graphics and themes that appeal to middle school aged kids, yet the explanations are simple enough to grasp.
Give it a try if you can find the time.

  1. I just subscribed to the free trial. You are correct,this is not only an interactive website, but gives a nice progression from the tutorial to increased diffultly. The sing along songs engage during the tutorial and the graphics definitely stimulate student interest. I will definitely keep this website in mind next year.
