A moms review:
My children love online learning programs and so do I! We especially like ones that are not only fun, but educational too. As a homeschool family we are always on the search for fun, new programs that can add to our learning arsenal. But finding high quality programs at affordable prices can be difficult sometimes. Luckily there are programs like 10monkeys.com that believe every child deserves access to high quality education at a minimal cost.

So what sets 10monkeys Math World apart from other similar math programs? Well their products benefit from the Finnish excellence in mathematics education which has resulted in outstanding achievements in international studies. The pedagogical content was designed by the didactics expert Lisen Häggblom, PhD. Their comprehensive content has a high educational approach, which is developed together with top professionals and schools.


How it works:
When you first log in your child will be able to select a monkey avatar. Next your child will select the skill level they wish to work on. There are 5 options: 0-10, 0-20, 0-100, 0-1000 and Geometry.


With in each category there are a variety of problem types that children can work on. Each problem type has a different activity which really helps keep children engaged. There are 10 problems in each activity so there's no need to worry about children becoming overly frustrated. 


The directions for each question is easy to read even for beginning or struggling readers. Children can choose to type in their answers or use the number pad on the right. After each question is answered their monkey avatar will give them immediate motivational feedback. One thing I would like to note is that nothing in the program is auditory so children that cannot read yet will require parental assistance. 


Under the evaluation tool parents can view a skill progress report as well as the latest activities that have been completed. These can easily be printed for record keeping purposes.



My daughter loved checking out the badges and honors she was earning. She has really low self confidence when it comes to math so these little awards provided her great motivation to keep going.


My kids are loving 10monkeys Math World and ask numerous times throughout the day to play the monkey math game. This fun, comprehensive online tool will have your kids enjoying and learning math more effectively and faster in no time.
