Academy of Math®: Math Instruction that Caters to Every Student
Every student is different. And for every student, there is a different learning style that must be tapped for academic success. With a version designed especially for use in a classroom environment, Passport Learning®’s Academy of Math® instruction software provides an individualized math improvement program for students with various levels of math ability. Whether used to build on fundamentals or to sharpen skills in target areas, this advanced program takes math instruction for any student to the next level with proven results.
Improving Math Comprehension through Stronger Foundations
The Academy of Math is a computer-based math instruction program designed to supplement and reinforce key mathematical concepts introduced in the classroom—enabling educators to help struggling students achieve computational fluency and improve their mathematical instincts. Its unique, process-oriented, self-adapting path to skill improvement in mathematics yields average gains of more than two grade levels in its student users. The goal: to provide educators with a powerful intervention software solution for improving math comprehension that is well-suited to the needs of elementary, middle and high-school students.
More than Math Homework Assistance:
One Program, Four Principles, Exponential Results
The Academy of Math’s lively interactive software program is based on four fundamental learning principles designed for improving math comprehension through targeted instruction:
- Accurate Placement: The program begins by determining the most appropriate starting point for every student, suggesting an effective intervention strategy in each case.
- Individualized Learning: Students work at their own pace, according to their own abilities—receiving constant feedback to motivate and encourage their progress.
- Skills Progression: Proceeding skill by skill, students advance to the next stage of learning only when they have achieved mathematical proficiency at the preceding level.
- Comprehensive Curriculum: From absolute beginner to basic high-school math, the program allows students to backtrack as far as they need to in order to fill in “skills gaps” and to accelerate ahead as their proficiency improves. The result goes beyond simple homework assistance to truly improving math comprehension in terms of real, grade-level advancement.
How it works:
Students learn at their own pace through a series of lessons designed especially for them, moving gradually to more complex tasks that test cumulative development. This method ensures that successes and challenges are quickly highlighted; so you can easily track your students’ progress and stay actively involved with their development every step of the way.
The software contains eight intervention levels, correlated with the fundamental skills for proficiency identified in the Content Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). Each level includes the following subjects: numeration, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, equations, measurement, geometry and graphing.
Constant Motivation
Interactive and engaging, the Academy of Math makes the learning process a captivating one, maintaining students’ focus and encouraging meaningful time on task. The Academy of Math provides constant encouragement through the animated ComputerTutor as well as awards and certificates given to students each time they master a skill. This tangible recognition of success allows students to demonstrate their accomplishments to their peers, teachers and parents.
