Math

• IXL: Very thorough math practice, like assessment books on iPad. Vee and Jae used the Singapore math editions for about 2 years. They practised for about 2 hours a week from around 5 years old and were able to accelerate 2 grades. They sometimes used math manipulatives or flash cards while practising. Eventually they got the momentum of doing math practice and decided to stick with physical workbooks.
