We have found it extremely difficult to use the practice problems because they do not always relate to the video just watched. In fact, my son (age 12) just watched watched a Developmental Math video on the Commutative Property of Addition and the practice problem asked him about the Distributive Property in Algebraic terms (far above his undertanding). It is very frustrating that I cannot leave him to do his lesson because he won't realize the questions do not pertain to the subject I left him to do and will pick an answer that fits what he was studying, never realizing he answered incorrectly and not realizing he is looking at Algebra problems. As an educated adult, I get lost in your schematic of where to go in the practice problems. I find it extremely confusing and feel totally lost and baffled as to where to start my kids or how to tell them how to go in a logical order. The videos seem to be somewhat logically organized, but the connection to the problems is extremely riddled with problems. I thought this was our answer as homeschoolers, but I have had to go to another program to get some uniform help for my daughter - Catch-up Math. I would certainly prefer a strong connection between Khan and Singapore, but we are way above 3rd grade and need High School courses now. I am desperate to help my daughter catch up and to stay a logical course for both kids.
