Middle School Pre-Algebra Part 1 provides a proven and dynamic learning environment that motivates students to succeed in pre-algebra.

The major topics covered in Middle School Pre-Algebra Part 1 are: Factoring, Fraction Review, Fraction Operations, Lines and Angles, Polygons. Each topic includes step-by-step, research-based lessons and activities designed to teach key mathematical concepts.

Skill Assessments - Each unit includes an assessment to test understanding of the subject matter.

Special Bonus! - The program includes a Math Tool that provides students and teachers with an easy way to create and manipulate interactive worksheets using graphs (circle, bar, line, histogram), fraction and percent diagrams, tables, plots and text fields. Students receive immediate feedback when they edit tables and see linked graphs and plots change. The Math Tool allows students to represent numerical relationships and patterns using a variety of graphing formats.

Present Concepts with Energy and High Impact

MathRealm understands that you are challenged each day to motivate and teach students with a wide range of learning needs. With state-of-the-art, multimedia lessons and activities, Middle School Pre-Algebra Part 1 will give you the tools to capture the attention of your students and make your job easier.

The program will help you emphasize key points during class presentations. The interactive lessons and compelling visual representations will add excitement and energy to the learning process, keeping students focused on learning.

Turn Passive Listeners into Active Learners

MathRealm's research demonstrated that students are not as responsive to long narrations in software as they are when they interact with visual manipulatives and audio effects that draw them into the program as active learners, rather than passive listeners. For learning to take place, students need to see the concept, touch the concept and receive immediate feedback.

Achieve Success in Various Learning Environments

Middle School Pre-Algebra Part 1 is not only great for teacher-directed classroom presentations, it is also ideal for individual instruction. Teachers are reporting success with our software in the classroom and with students on a self-study basis. See our No Child Left Behind research paper.

The step-by-step tutorials, the endless supply of randomly generated practice problems, as well as the worksheets (included with the teacher manual) make it possible for your students to learn on their own. The worksheets are great for reinforcing concepts and can be used as your students are moving through the program.

If a student is struggling to keep pace with the class, you can assign some computer lab work with the program. While you may not be present to answer their questions, you can feel confident that the software and accompanying worksheets are guiding them in the learning process.

Middle School Pre-Algebra Part 1 is perfect as a collaborative group learning tool. Your students can gather around a single computer to work through the lessons and solve the practice problems as a group.

Give Struggling Students the Tools to Succeed!

All students can master pre-algebra concepts. Many students simply need to see the concepts presented in different ways. When students use Middle School Pre-Algebra Part 1 they enjoy it so much they do not consider learning math a chore. Many teachers report that their students think they are playing on the computer, but testing shows that they are actually learning math skills!
