Thousands of students, teachers and schools are using Pre-Algebra World to get great results. It provides a proven and dynamic learning environment that motivates students to succeed.

The major topics covered in Pre-Algebra World are: fractions, prime numbers, factoring, prime factoring, pattern recognition, estimation and rounding, place value, and scientific notation.

Presenting Concepts Has Never Been Easier

MathRealm understands that you are challenged each day to motivate and teach a wide range of students with a wide range of learning needs. You have a very demanding job. Pre-Algebra World will give you the tools to make your job easier.

"A great program for classroom use! It helps develop a deep understanding and keeps students interested with an engaging learning environment. I highly recommend it!"

Dr. Vicki Sharp

Pre-Algebra World In The Classroom

Ms. Brown, a teacher at the Francis Parker Middle School in San Diego, CA uses Pre-Algebra World by projecting the lessons in front of her class and demonstrating math concepts. After the presentation, her students take turns on the computers in her classroom and work with the lessons she has just shown them as well as the practice activities. Math comprehension has improved and test scores have been raised since using the software!

Success in Various Learning Environments

Why do teachers incorporate Pre-Algebra World into their classrooms? Pre-Algebra World's highly visual and interactive presentations are perfect for classroom demonstrations. The visualization of concepts adds excitement to the learning process. Students today relate more to math ideas that are accompanied by graphics, color and sound.

Not only is Pre-Algebra World great for classroom demonstrations, it is also ideal for individual instruction! The eye-catching graphics and sound effects allow students to see and hear what is happening. This helps students to better understand the concepts.

Turn Passive Listeners into Active Learners

MathRealm's research showed that students are not as responsive to long narrations in software as they are to interactive visual and audio effects that draw them into the program as active learners, rather than passive listeners.

Hands-on virtual manipulatives with limited text reading and immediate visual feedback will capture your students' attention and help them understand concepts, as well as develop logical reasoning.

"My daughter strongly disliked math and told me she didn't want to take any math. Pre-Algebra World changed her mind. Pre-Algebra World got her excited about math. She loves using the program and invites her friends over to use it as well. She now looks forward to math class!"

-- Susan Williams, Parent

Motivate Your Students to Excel in Pre-Algebra

All students can master pre-algebra concepts. Pre-Algebra World gives students the tools to grasp the concepts and builds their motivation by sparking their curiosity.

Many students struggle in math because they lose interest in mathematical procedures that do not seem relevant to their lives.

Pre-Algebra World presents key concepts in thematic environments that are relevant to students. Students learn and practice estimation and rounding in a basketball court with cheering fans in one activity.

"This is an excellent, fun motivator!"

Cathy Edelen
St. Gregory School, KY

Pre-Algebra World focuses on developing concepts with:

Research-Based Lessons

Our research-based lessons engage students and develop conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills and logical reasoning.

Interactive Practice Problems

Unlimited practice problems provide students with immediate feedback. If a student is unable to solve a practice problem, the program shows how to solve it correctly, step-by-step.

Enrichment Activities

Pre-Algebra World's enrichment activities expand understanding of basic concepts and stir the imagination.

Teachers and Parents are Getting Great Results with Pre-Algebra World

"My daughter became so enthusiastic about math after using Pre-Algebra World and developing pattern recognition skills that she showed the math teachers in her school how to write numbers in binary notation. They were impressed."

Alan McElroy, Parent
