American Math Challenge 2012

I don't use any other on line or software for our curriculum.  Most things have way too much stimulus, way too much loud music, and way too little actual learning going on. In my opinion, most software or online "educational" programs seem to be little more than glorified video games.  We don't allow those things in our kids leisure time so we certainly don't want them in our school time.

BUT... we have been  part of the American Math Challenge, sponsored by Mathletics,  for some time now and it is an excellent addition to our home school curriculum.  My kids not only enjoy this but when the games come to a close, I am always amazed at how much they learn.  And its all minus the annoying stimulus you usually find in such things.  The American Math Challenge is always held the week after we return from vacation, which is usually our first official week of school.  And that is a perfect time to sharpen those skills and refresh what we might have gotten lax on over the summer.

In previous years you had to register prior to the start of the Challenge so don't wait.  Registration is taking place right now.
