XtraMath is a nice service designed to help teachers and parents help their students learn basic mathematics. The service provides an online environment in which students complete practice activities that are recorded and shared with teachers and parents. Teachers can create classroom accounts in which each child has his or her own log-in credentials. Parents can also be given log-in credentials to see how their children are progressing.
Recently, XtraMath added some new features including support for six languages (English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese). Videos with American Sign Language will soon be available in XtraMath too. From your teacher account you can now sort reports according to mastery scores in XtraMath.

Applications for Education
XtraMath does not remove the need for students to learn directly from teachers and parents. It’s not trying to be like Khan Academy. The purpose of XtraMath is to help teachers and parents monitor the progress that their students are making and prepare lessons that meet students where they are.
