IXLis a similar program for math, but it has more explanation and problems. Topics go from basic math through pre-calculus, and there is a new section for learning English grammar. IXL is available for free to every ESUMS student -- if your child doesn't know his or her login information, please contact Bridget Corcoran for help.
Another online resource to explore as a parent is the set of "Smarter Balanced" practice tests associated with the Common Core in Connecticut. Please try out these tests yourself to get an idea of what your student will be asked to do on test days (in May) and encourage your child to try them out to get familiar with the interface (it is a bit tricky).
All of these are great supplements for "no homework" nights!
