Much like Hooked on Phonics, Hooked on Math offers a robust educational App with instructional videos, games, and rewards, as well as hands-on Practice Packs sent by mail each month to solidify the skills your child is learning in the App. It's perfect for children ages 3-9 years old, or Pre-K/Kindergarten through 3rd grade level. It can be used for review, as well. Sometimes if the lessons are on the easier side for older kids, it can give them a great confidence boost, and once they get to the lessons that they need to learn from, they'll be better equipped to take those on.
Hooked on Math is designed with a structured approach. Each grade level is organized into steps that gradually build mathematical competencies. For instance, Pre-K/Kindergarten and 1st Grade both have 11 steps to guide learners through Numbers and Counting as well as Math Fundamentals, while 2nd Grade has 9 steps, and 3rd Grade offers 10 steps to support Core Math in the app format.
Key Limitations and Recommendations
Physical materials like workbooks are not offered for 3rd-grade math, which relies entirely on app-based learning for an immersive experience.
When transitioning between grades, use the structured steps (explained earlier) to determine the optimal level for your child.
For reference, here's a breakdown of grade levels associated with the Hooked on Math program:
Numbers & Counting (Pre-K - Kindergarten) - App & Practice Packs
Math Fundamentals (1st Grade) - App & Practice Packs
Elementary Math (2nd Grade) - App & Practice Packs
Core Math (3rd Grade) - App only
