When he does (and so far it's rare), he brings it home so we can work on it together. She generates quizzes from the system (not sure how often) to keep tab of what he's learnt. Does he feel isolated from his classmates during the lesson? Actually he loves it, because he can see what they're doing and he shudders at the thought! Maybe this is what's lending him some discipline wink.
Lol, yes, my DS doesn't like the idea of doing "ordinary maths", either! How do you find HeyMath btw? That isn't a programme I know much about.
