I just came across it today. It's systematic math, I like what I read about it. There are no reviews for it here but I did find one on a homeschool math site and read the testimonials on their own site as well. For the price $28 for a 3 year program I don't think it can be beat. And they say you can return it if you're not happy with it, and it's a teacher on dvd to help me as well as the kids. : ) I like the worksheet samples a lot. So here's hoping this one will be a good fit : )

The program at systemath.com is Systematic Math. We used their Math Rescue for ds13 for a final wrap up of elementary math before starting Algebra. Ds and I both learned some things. I strongly considered them for Algebra, but ds asked that I get him a textbook-only Alg. program (he was zoning out with the dvd instruction. He did the same thing when we used Teaching Textbooks.) We also are using the Practical Arithmetic Book 1 for ds9. Real good, solid instruction with lots of story problems.
I think that the content in this program is well taught (not fancy, though) and covers the main things one needs to know. You'll just have to see if the dvd instruction/instructor is a good fit for your dc.
There are some reviews over on the www.welltrainedmind.com forum
