Interesting. So was this a supplement to math learned at school or was it the primary math?

I was expecting you to name dimensions or one if the other programs they offer.

It isn't related to school curriculum (our kids go to US public school). It's supplemental in the sense that they get to practice more math exercises than a kid that only relies on school/common core curriculum.

Most school math is pathetically slow. IIRC, they don’t learn algebra till 8th or 9th grade and even then spend an entire year on it.
