Question:<\/h4>\n

\"image\"<\/a>I have a 10 year old boy who is doing Saxon 76<\/a>. It takes 30 minutes for me to work with him on a lesson, working only the amount of problems I feel are necessary, as taking longer than this causes math burnout. Would using the D.I.V.E. CD<\/a> help my son be more independent in his math time? Can you pick and choose which problems to use? Is it worth the $50?<\/p>\n

\"image-1\"<\/a>Answer:<\/h4>\n

Yes, D.I.V.E.<\/a>\u00a0 (Digital Interactive Video Education) is definitely worth the money and will free you up. Yes, you can pick and choose which problems to do.<\/p>\n

I use D.I.V.E. with my children,and I have not taught math to my older students for 3 years now, yet they are doing much better than when I did teach them math!<\/p>\n

One thing you may want to consider is not doing a whole lesson per day, but a half lesson. It is more important that the student learns the info and has a good experience than that they speed ahead. I think 30-45 minutes of math per day is quite enough. If you are steady with math, doing it daily, even at the rate of 1\/2 lesson per day, you will still steadily march right through the textbooks and have a very thorough education.<\/p>\n

Best success!
