Math Problems with Middle School Math ?
Our educational math software is an excellent resource for elementary up to middle school math
The Math Course Series offers the best in math eduaction software for 3 core math subjects:
Each of our math problem software covers a fundamental math strand typically covered in math education from mid-elementary through middle school math. Learning objectives are carefully addressed to develop reliable understanding of concepts that support higher order math learning.
Who should get math help with our Educational Math Software?
Anyone with math problems or who needs a solid foundation in math fundamentals. With an adaptable learning management system, the Math Course software is suited for all levels and abilities of math for kids. Use our Math software for teaching math, remedial math help, for enriched and accelerated learning or simply to solidify and confirm math knowledge.
Educational Math Software Design – Content
Math education in the school system contains many different strands. At any grade level, students are exposed to small pieces of each. There are some benefits to this approach and many students succeed with it. However, some have difficulty with only partial treatment of many different concepts. More commonly, students simply memorize tasks for testing but don’t develop an integrated understanding of important math education and develop necessary reasoning skills. Insufficient understanding may not be apparent until middle school or high school or may just lead to a withdrawal from interest in math education.
Each Math Course addresses one strand only – the content is organized in a logical sequence and with math problems incrementally and logically linked, there is maximum opportunity for successful learning and teaching math. The Math Courses are unique amongst educational math software for the focus on clear learning outcomes (at least 30 per Course) and the depth of the resources in each Course:
An illustrated Math Textbook to explain each learning outcome (about 100 pages)
- A Workbook of Math Problems and Activities for practice and reinforcement of each learning outcome (about 200 pages)
- An illustrated Math Help Guide to offer strategies on overcoming common math problems associated with each learning outcome in the Course (about 60 pages)
All of these educational resources are accessed from the educational math software and can be printed where desired (worksheets of math problems need to be printed). Alternatively, students can also purchase bound books from Core Learning, making the study experience more off-line.
Educational Math Software Design – Learning Management
All successful learning experiences involve an engaged and motivated learner and the delivery of teaching math in an environment that supports both its comprehension as well as its retention. Sound instructional design also recognizes that instructional choice depends on the nature of the learning outcomes and the variability of learning levels and learning styles of the learners. Our math software follows the latest research in math for kids technology:
- A pleasant but simple program interface does not distract attention from study work
- An extensive database of math problems and test questions aligned with each learning outcome allows for validation of learning gains
- Pre-testing at various intervals in the Course enables assessment of learning needs and the development of a customized instruction path; instruction and use of math resources is therefore managed to suit individual learning needs
- Saved pre-test and post-test results enable monitoring of progress and appropriate decisions regarding intervention, where appropriate.
Core Learning recognizes the power of software to entertain, especially young children with stimulating audio-visual effects. Our Math Software is intended for children ages 8 and up – to achieve successful comprehension and retention of the learning outcomes in each Math Course, entertainment techniques have been deliberately avoided. The ease of discovery and success with each Course generates a joy of learning and math help that is highly effective in maintaining interest and motivation.
