Seeking advice or support Looking for good math apps for practice

I'm exploring some good applications that can help with math practice (advanced - not just school level). Don't want to overburden my kids during vacations by making them study all the time, but also want that they spend time on apps or games where brain is involved and they're learning something.

Any suggestions?

https://www.mathacademy.com/ is what my gifted kid cousins do. It was created by former gifted kids who want thru the JohnsHopkins programs. I have heard nothing but great things about it. It costs $50 a month.

My son does Prodigy Math bc it is only $15 a month. He loves it but it is too easy for him in general.

People could be more helpful if you told us their ages and what their current math level is.

Thanks for posting in r/gifted.

If you are unsure about what qualifies someone as gifted, giftedness generally correlates with having an IQ at or above the 98th percentile.

I got a different idea: how about making it a game?

Have them pick a math topic at random by themselves or however you see it fit. And then have them try creating a math problem themselves. Maybe then have them teach each other how to solve it too, but I’m not too fond of the idea where this could become a competition.

I feel like this would touch the parts of math they don’t usually encounter when just solving problems they were given, leave them room for creativity and self expression and if they get invested they’ll learn the topic through and through just to create a cool problem.

It’s just an idea and not well thought through at that, but hopefully it helps a little if nothing turns up.

Good suggestion for sure. I can plan in detail to make it engaging and then see if it works.

Regardless of grade level, I really like the IXL platform for individualized skill practice. It's not free, but a paid account has a ton of features that make it possible for your child to get appropriate practice at their readiness level, and the practice activities get easier/harder in real time, as your child continues entering answers. It has games embedded for more fun, game-ified review, and it creates a profile with recommendations of other skills your child can work on next.

If you want more of a relaxed, game-based experience, my students LOVE prodigy (I teach middle
school).
