If you have been homeschooling for any amount of time, then surely Saxon is a familiar name to you. But you may surprised to know that they now offer an online math program called FactsFirst. This is a supplemental math program designed to drill students in the basics: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
I feel like our kids can never get enough of this type of drill. Throughout my middle school and highschool years, I dreaded math class. This was largely due to the fact that I did not have a firm foundation in the basics. I knew how to do math...I was just terribly slow at it.
Not many children want to sit around practicing math facts. But FactsFirst makes math drills fun.



Our kids enjoyed playing FactsFirst, but they weren't necessarily asking to play it everyday. I think that just boils down to the fact that math is math is math. Nevertheless, the kids enjoy their computer time and they would rather play math games on the computer than not play the computer at all. And I would prefer that they play educational games than just surfing around nickjr.com. So FactsFirst is a great fit for that reason.
A one-year subscription to FactsFirst can be purchased for $49.99 and can be used for 1-4 users. You can try a free demo at their website as well.
