    I would look at HeyMath website. It is $99/year and many Singapore Math users use it. They have a free trial. I will be buying this soon. It looks great IMHO.

    Classicsmom,

    This is terrific! We've been on Singapore Math on and off. Think it's on again for the next few months. And given that my son suddenly loves online math instruction, this will be just right.

    Here's a free site that his teacher at school requires him to use for math acceleration in class:
    http://www.mathplayground.com/

    It's fabulous - the math games section is heavy on pre-algebra and algebra concepts. This is my son's favourite site now.

    Enjoy!

    WHAT?? John Hop CTY is really EPGY???? That is crazy!
    It is sooo expensive. Then why would anyone enroll their kid in John Hopkins? My DS took 3 classes $1800!

    Isn't it a little cheaper through CTY than EPGY? I can't remember.

    CTY also resells PLATO for middle school science and uses Thinkwell for the higher math and I believe it's called Honors Sciences, I don't have time to look it up right now. I believe we had a post a while back about who resells what because you can get a large majority of it cheaper through things like www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org and the OE program.

    Thanks Melissa. I am pretty sure CTY is WAY more expensive just because of the teacher but really how often do you even talk to them.

    That is why EPGY started the OE program. So many of the younger grades don't use the tutors at all. There are so many people who can't afford $495 for 3 months through the individual program.
