The challenges of traditional math’s instruction
Paper worksheets were a constant struggle. They’d go missing all the time, with excuses ranging from the classic ‘my dog ate it’ to the more creative.”
With students from various backgrounds and possessing a wide range of learning styles and proficiency levels, the one-size-fits-all approach left many students behind, struggling to grasp concepts or feeling bored with material they already understood.
Recognizing these limitations, Agassi sought a solution that could adapt to individual needs and learning styles:
“We needed a program that would spark engagement and cater to all students, regardless of their learning level or background.”
Enter the powerful duo: Math seeds & Mathletics
the Math & Mathletics Math’s Package, providing students access to both programs.
The Math Package combines Math seeds’ vibrant animations and playful activities for effective foundational skill development, with Mathletics’ proven personalized learning paths and captivating features to improve engagement and results.
Gazi, expressing confidence in both programs, noted:
“Our top priority was to ensure students would participate and both programs provide a wealth of engaging elements and built-in rewards, which are essential for keeping students actively involved in their learning.”
Improved student engagement and confidence
The introduction of both programs has led to a remarkable boost in student engagement and confidence with Agazi also noting the elimination of traditional homework excuses such as ‘I forgot to bring it’.
Students are excited to learn and actively participate in class discussions, their enthusiasm evident in how they support each other.
Reflecting on the change, Gazi shares
“The programs have not only improved student engagement but also their confidence. They’re more eager to contribute to class discussions, often even helping each other!”
Personalised maths learning for every student
The unique strength of the Math and Mathematics Package lies in its capacity to meet the diverse needs of learners.
Math with its engaging lessons and real-world contexts, sparks curiosity and captivates younger learners, laying a solid foundation in key concepts.
For students eager to progress, Mathletics offers the flexibility to explore advanced concepts through gamified practice and dynamic challenges.
“Having both programs means students who are falling behind or need more help are supported, while more advanced students can progress to higher-level concepts at their own pace, eliminating any sense of being held back. This approach epitomizes limitless education!”
Empowering teachers, streamlining processes
The Math and Mathematics’ Math Package also saves teachers like Gazi valuable time.
The programs’ automated marking and data-backed reports efficiently identify knowledge gaps, allowing for tailored instruction and prompt intervention.
Gazi also notes that assigning Math or Mathematics activities’ for independent practice at home can help address potential misconceptions before classroom instruction, leading to more effective class time learning:
“With both programs, I can assign practice to pinpoint and address gaps. I can also pre-teach lessons in advance by assigning work for students, positioning them to better grasp the material when introduced in class. It’s like plugging holes before they become problems!”
Challenges and solutions: A seamless integration
Adding an online math learning tool without disrupting the classroom flow was a key priority for 10th and Green Elementary.
Math emerged as the solution with Susan noting:
“I had high confidence in the program and felt that most of the training was intuitive and would be an easy turnaround with students.”
Integrating Math and Green was a breeze, thanks to their existing experience with Reading Eggs, our complementary platform for reading.
Just as Reading Eggs empowers schools with engaging and personalized reading instruction, Math takes on the challenge of math with a similar user-friendly interface and seamless integration.
This familiar territory instilled confidence in teachers and minimized the anxieties that often come with implementing new programs.
