Thanks!! Beth, We have fastt math on our network at school. It is great. There are a few drawbacks, however. The program is designed as a "warm-up" or review type program. The students are allowed only one session per day. Once the student has gone through what the computer allots for them for that day, they are blocked out until the following day. What each student is allowed to do varies. If you want to use it as a brief (10-15 minutes per day) review, then I think it is great. You can create personalizzed worksheets for each child based on the skills test. There are games that they are sometimes allowed to play (as a school we have not worked out all of the kinks and it has yet to be installed in all of our computer labs) and those are great. As a special education teacher, I love that the game speed is based on the skills test that they take at the begging of the program, so nothing is "above" each student's performance level.
