Math Pathways: Algebra 2

Grade Levels: 8 to 12

Guided by NCTM,  a teacher-guided, self-paced, curriculum and standard-based algebra learning tool that creates a learning environment in which students can explore, visualize, and appreciate mathematics.

Introduces and instructs students in major mathematic concepts utilizing a pathways methodology in which students are explained core mathematic concepts and then build on these concepts in their understanding of more complex mathematical problem solving. Guided by NCTM and designed as a teacher-guided, self-paced, curriculum and standard-based learning tool, Math Pathways creates a learning environment in which students can explore, visualize and appreciate mathematics. The unique combination of 3D animation and exercises will ensure all math students acquire necessary conceptual understanding and computational skills to achieve middle school and high school standards.

With Math Pathways Students Will:

• Learn concepts and then build upon these concepts using various pathways that converge and build upon each other such that retention will be far greater than the traditional rote memorization method of teaching mathematics
• Gain deep conceptual understanding through full curriculum content, visual and auditory components, and carefully selected interactive experiments and assessments
• Improve computational skills through procedure demonstrations and practice modules, as well as interactive multiple choice exercises
• Develop problem solving skills through a specially designed environment

With Math Pathways Teachers Will:

• Possess a full curriculum and standards-based learning environment, featuring interactive elements that hold students' attention
• Access an online tool which allows them to self guide students through middle and high school major mathematical concepts
• Illustrate math concepts and their applicability to “real world” situations
