Can you go into more detail about your experience it’s difficult to find negative or critical reviews of MathAcademy. (Well except reviews in the same vein as Paul Lockhart’s A Mathematician’s Lament [1])
I’m taking their Math Foundations 2 now. So far my only two complaints are:
1. Everything feels like a random grab bag of “tricks”. There isn’t a coherent presentation of why this works or why it’s important.
2. Geometry lessons just suck. I don’t blame MathAcademy for this, since they basically follow what would be considered standard American high school geometry curriculum. But after having gone through Euclid’s Elements, everything here just feels empty by comparison.
Overall I’m still very happy with the product. They do largely deliver on their promises.

- HPMOR 2y agoI know this is extremely pedantic, but I think you mean in the same "vein" instead of "vain".
