About this app

XtraMath is a math fact fluency program that helps students increase their math fluency and recall in order to succeed in fractions, decimals, and other higher-level math concepts. XtraMath student activities are simple and straightforward and take about 10 minutes each day. The program uses sophisticated methods to present your child with the right problem at the right time to maximize the effectiveness of practice. Students earn a certificate of achievement when they complete an operation as well as receive trophy awards as they hit program milestones.
You will receive a weekly progress report via e-mail. The report shows how well your child knows their math facts and the progress they are making toward mastery. More detailed reports can be accessed via the web at any time. Additionally, there is a user guide you can download that will walk you through the program and the reports.

Ratings and reviews

This is lierally just math problems, it doesn't make it fun, it isn't rewarding to complete, and it doesn't offer any guidance when kids get stuck. Its not any more useful than flashcards or sheets of problems. Getting an arbitrary number to track progress is useless, I have used it with both of my kids at their teachers request and see more frustration than improvement. Use flashcards with your kids instead so you can help them through problems. It doesn't help to just keep answering questions wrong.

Kids in first grade don't have the hand and eye coordination to be able to; not only solve the problem, but also be required to key in the answer in five seconds. My daughter is stressed out trying to get the answer keyed in fast enough that she's shaking and putting in the incorrect answer that she has already solved correctly verbally. I can see speeding them up as she improves, but it's almost too fast for me and I know I can type faster than most, as I do medical transcription.

We homeschool, and my kiddos needed extra arithmetic practice (like flashcards) but I needed it to be self-contained with instant feedback and self-correction because "real" flashcards weren't working for us. The app covers addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and assigns these based on grade level. I get weekly progress summaries, and I already see a huge difference in my 10 year old's arithmetic skills during his regular math lessons. My 7 and 12 year old use it, too!
