[school-discuss] Math practice?



Hello all,
Our K-5 school would love to find a FOSS equivalent to applications that
test math facts and track student progress. We presently use a
proprietary application, Accelerated Math, that is quite cumbersome
(and, imho, poorly implemented). Its virtue is that it produces exams
based on previous student performance and penalizes guessing. It has not
provided us with good value for the money.

We also use a web-based susbscription site, firstinmath.com, that has
worked well but the one complaint from teachers is that it is easy for
kids to guess - ie randomly clicking to accumulate results without any
penalty.

We use K12LTSP as our student platform, so Linux/WINE compatible
solutions are obviously preferred.
