The Core Methodology - Just what you need to learn!

Core Learning is passionate about the development of core skills - skills that provide a foundation for higher education and are also useful life skills. We offer an array of software programs and some books as supplementary learning resources. Our products are not intended to deliver grade level curriculum but can:

• Reinforce and consolidate the understanding of Grade level curriculum.
• Assess learning needs and remediate skills to grade level.
• Offer opportunities to enrich and accelerate learning.

Many of our products also have resources that can be used by teachers to develop classroom lessons, homework assignments and tests.

Our software programs follow sound and proven instructional design principles. Our emphasis is on the attainment of learning outcomes. Learning is fun when success comes easily and our well designed products engage students and build their confidence. Our programs are easy to use but we seldom use 'edutainment' features which can sometimes serve as a distraction rather than an aid to learning. We also believe computing technologies can effectively facilitate and manage learning, especially where the software program is adaptable to different learning needs. This principle is a central feature of our full Course programs.

 

Math Courses

Each Math Course covers an entire major math strand spanning several grade levels for curriculum delivered in elementary and middle schools. Each Course is administered by a learning management system that assesses learning levels, customizes lessons to learning needs and tracks progress through test results.

• Integrated set of at least 30 learning outcomes per Course, organized by a series of Topics in 7 or 8 Units.
  
• Pre-assessment of Learner knowledge at the start of each Unit results in generation of a customized lesson plan.
  
• Lesson plans supported by over 300 pages of Textbook and Workbook resources (available digitally or pre-printed.
  
• Extensive database of test questions supports random generation of different tests .
  
• Learner records for all tests are managed and stored and accessible by a Teacher or assistant, to monitor progress.
  
• A Help Guide for teachers offers practical solutions to common learning difficulties encountered for each learning outcome.
  
• The computer manages the Course but most of the study work and real life activity is done off-line; all tests and Final Exam are done on the computer.
