LIVE Online Math

The curriculum heavily emphasizes worked examples through video instruction where instructors demonstrate problems step-by-step. The platform includes extensive example problems and solutions.

Instructors 'walk students through lessons' using electronic whiteboards, and the 'Look It Up' feature provides 'any math topic fully explained with examples'

The curriculum strongly supports direct instruction through live teaching sessions and structured video lessons. Teachers provide explicit guidance and immediate feedback.

Live classes feature 'an instructor walks students through a lesson' and teachers provide feedback, with one reviewer noting a teacher's 'classroom management and communication with parents'

The curriculum incorporates scattered review problems and includes the Infinite Math feature for additional practice. Regular quizzes provide retrieval opportunities.

Problem sets include 'scattered review problems to keep students fluent with previously learned concepts' and Infinite Math offers 'infinite, randomly generated practice problems'

The curriculum uses a mastery-based approach with units broken into chapters and includes scattered review problems. Students must demonstrate understanding through quizzes and tests before progressing.

Courses have 10-12 units with chapters, include 'scattered review' problems to maintain fluency, and use mid-unit quizzes and end-of-unit tests to assess understanding

Word problems and practical applications are included, particularly in foundational courses. However, systematic instruction in problem-solving strategies is not clearly described.

Reviews mention 'the first three courses include plenty of practical applications' and some courses 'discuss them occasionally'

The curriculum includes diagnostic elements through immediate quiz feedback and an 'I don't know' option that alerts parents to gaps. However, comprehensive diagnostic assessment is limited.

Quizzes are 'graded immediately' and include 'I don't know' options that 'alerts the parent or teacher to a topic that needs to be revisited'

The curriculum uses electronic whiteboards with graphics and visual elements during instruction. However, specific mention of mathematical manipulatives or visual models is limited.

Instructors use electronic whiteboards 'gradually adding information, examples, and graphics' and have 'tools for pointing and writing on the board'

The curriculum appears to emphasize procedural instruction through step-by-step guidance and worked examples. Limited evidence suggests conceptual development beyond practical applications in early courses.

Reviews describe 'step-by-step guidance' and courses that 'walk students through lessons' with examples, but minimal mention of conceptual understanding or deeper mathematical reasoning

No evidence of formal teacher training materials or professional development components is mentioned in the reviews.

Reviews focus on student experience and platform features but do not mention teacher guides, training materials, or pedagogical support for educators
