Successful Practices

I was interested in the Tom Snyder Production mathematics software. It is really interesting because students (grade 2 and up) will take a pretest, and from there, they will receive a personal math program with daily sessions. This will help students learn basic math skills and understand basic concepts. It also provides aids to teachers to create lesson plans and evaluation methods. I am not sure how good of a program it is after basic math is learned, but it can be a great way to build individual skills and help to make a concrete foundation in math.

I was most impressed by the Federal Resources for Educational Excellence (FREE ) math page because it covers all of the content standards of math and goes much deeper into more advanced mathematics. For instance, the Algebra page offers interactive programs for exploration, resources for teachers, and learning modules. This website is a fantastic resource for all mathematics topics and it is certainly worth using regularly.
