Have you tried ST Math? Curious on your thoughts!
I have not. Are you in the Techin’ Your Homeschool Facebook group? You could ask there and other techie homeschoolers may have some advice for you. You can join here >>> https://www.facebook.com/groups/TechinYourHomeschool/
ST math is terrible. My kids get to use it for free at their public school. It’s a game based program but it’s not an intelligent program that realizes if you understand the material to move on. Instead, you are forced to do things over and over to redundancy death. Pounding math into a kid isn’t the way to do it especially for kids that grasp things quickly. The graphics are dull and very low level.
