<p>Did any of you take online math lessons in middle school which purported to provide greater depth to your knowledge of, say, algebra? </p>
<p>Years ago I thought there was a math online program called AIMS. However, I could be mistaken, because when I googled it, I couldn't find it. Other things came up, but not an online program of lessons. I think there was like a $50 charge or something to sign up for a class. </p>
<p>does any of this sound familiar? I now have a friend whose son is in 5th grade, divorced parents, dad not around, mom can't teach or help with math. Her son is smart, just disadvantaged this way. </p>
<p>Any ideas? I found out about Khan Academy (for science) when some highschoolers happened to mention it on here while I was browsing for my own then-highschooler, so I hope one of you can give me some suggestions for ways to beef up my friend's son's education at home.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
