CapJaxMathFax

When I was teaching my son (now age 15) his math facts, we did it the “old fashioned” way.  We got out notecards, wrote down the facts he needed to learn, and practiced them day after day.  Did he learn his math facts?  Yes, he did!  Did he enjoy it?  No, not one little bit!  So I am happy to say that I’ve been working on teaching my youngest child her math facts lately, and she gets to do it in a fun way!  (We’ve been trying to conceal this fact from her brother.  Please don’t tell him!)

The math program she’s using is called CapJaxMathFax.  Their website says that they “supercharge math fact memorization.”  You can take a look at their website here:  http://www.capjax.com. 

My daughter and I really like CapJaxMathFax!  She enjoys it because it's a fun way to learn her math facts.  I like that it teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts.  You need to know, though, that this is not a stand-alone math program.  Their website clearly tells you that this should be used in addition to your regular math curriculum.

I also like that it allowed her to start with easier problems and then work her way up to more difficult ones.  Some children (like my daughter) need to take it pretty slowly and get frustrated easily.  It was great for her to be able to be successful at easier problems before moving on to more difficult ones.  That way, she was allowed to not only be successful, but she had a good time too, so she began enjoying the program instead of dreading having to practice her math facts.

You can take a look on the CapJaxMathFax website to find out why you should choose their program.  You can also see an overview of the program.  You can also read more information about specific features.

If you decide you’d like to try out the program before buying it, they even have a special evaluation program you can download.  Then, if you decide to buy your own license of the program for home use, you can do that for $29.95 here. 

One of the fun things about this program is the merit badges that the students can earn.  As she moves through the different levels, she earns merit badges.  These badges are available to buy on the site, too, if you have a child who would be motivated by having an in-real-life badge in her hand.  To me, this kind of makes it seem more like a game than work.

Of course, if you want to take a look at more reviews of this program, you can do that here:  http://homeschoolcrew.com/785179/.  

I received a free program to use and write this review.  I received no other compensation.  The opinions in the review are my own honest opinions.
