K-6 grade is what I'm looking for right now.

Can anyone recommend some good math software? I'm looking for something that you've used personally you know and that you can highly recommend it since it helped out with your children.

I'm going to say not to use it, or use it sparingly. One of our teachers said that the experience of actually writing the numbers down on paper actually helped children to understand it easier than using something like a keyboard. She was right. When we took away the math programs we were using and instead focused more on just sitting down with her and doing the homework together , she improved 100%
