I used Imagine Math for the last 5 years. The kids really dreaded doing it and the lessons were too long to finish in a class period unless if they passed the pre-quiz. The only thing that kept them motivated was the Pizza Party the class could earn (that you or your school have to pay for) and I had a Top 10 board that I would update weekly. Kids loved to see their names on that board.

We have used it for two years. I wasn’t a big fan at first because we were required to use one period of a week with the students on it. However there was a very clear and direct correlation between lessons passed and growth made on benchmark testing over a year. It is important to get the kids on board right away. We do incentives like a raffle ticket per lesson passed. Also...the students love to play with their avatars and will for the whole period. You can restrict this setting if you want.

Thanks for the information. It is growing on me. I was thinking about using it in order to meet with smaller groups next year. Where do you control how much they use the Avatar?

I can't wait for things to get back to normal. For my kids to go to school. To see my family again. To travel overseas and explore. To not worry if I accidentally bump into someone. I feel like my kids are missing out on the magic of school (they were in kg and 1st grade when the initial shutdown started). I didn't get to see my nephew and niece since they were born, haven't seen my sister in 5 years (our family reunion got cancelled this summer). That is all. Hoping for a better year.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
