Time4learning is definitely the winner in "fun" but it isn't anywhere near as serious as a straight math program. T4L has all subjects and the kids earn time in the playground for completed work. It also doesn't require that a child repeat what is done incorrectly.

Aleks is self correcting, it doesn't allow the child to move on without being correct. The other program that I really like is Conquersmath which is a UK based program but is really comprehensive and the explanations are better than in Aleks. The only drawback that we found was in money problems as they are written in pounds.
