I find the exercise dashboard kind of strange. Is math the only available subject? And do you have to go through all the prerequisite exercises to progress to the next ones?
At the moment, yes, math only. We're working to entirely cover K-12 math before moving on.
You can jump to any area or exercise you want at any time. We suggest exercises, but I've seen plenty of 5th graders jump to Calculus and play around with Limits just because it's interesting/challenging and they saw their friend try it.
Ah, that's really cool and thanks for your reply. You guys are doing some incredible work.
One thing you guys might be interested in:

Daphne Koller is a Stanford CS professor who has been teaching her course CS228 on Probabilistic Models in a similar format for a couple of years. She has the lectures online by chunks of about 10 minutes and then uses in-class time for more interactive sessions. (I'm not sure if you can access the videos if you don't have a Stanford login though)
I really think this method of learning makes so much sense for any level student. Can't wait to see it progress!

I've been looking at the Khan Academy site a bit.
