I have had a copy of BrillKid's Little Math for a few months now - Thanks KL! However, I have had some major computer problems & could not load it on my old computer. About a month ago, I purchased a new laptop & installed Little Math & have been using it quite regularly since then.
K has already seen Doman dot cards from one to about 80. This is how the math program starts out, so we are reviewing, but going quite quickly. It has been a while since we did the math dots, so K does not seem to mind the review.
If you have a very young child, this program is ideal for doing the dot program. Because it is computer generated, the dots are always random as compared to doing them on cards where each number is always done in the same pattern.
Again, just like the Little Reader program, I love the flexibility of this program. To keep K's interest peaked we have downloaded neat icons like Minnie Mouse & Blue's Clues. I like that this program goes right from Doman style dots, to simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, right up to multistep equations.
I have not found it too hard to keep up with K's reading program, however math is another story. I am pleased to say that since we started with Little Math we have been able to be quite consistent. It is just so easy!
The math program includes math dots, numerals, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, multi step equations and more.

I started this blog hoping to inspire other parents to help their children with Down syndrome reach for the sky! My daughter was reading words, before she was 2 years of age & reading books by 3.5 years. I believe kids with Down syndrome can do amazing things if we give them the right tools. I truly believe high expectations can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our children!
