MathScore® Adds Significant Algebra Support for Students and Teachers

MathScore®, a highly thought of, Internet-based math environment, works alongside a school's existing curriculum to systematically build competency in algebra concepts.

Palo Alto, Calif. (PRWEB) February 14, 2007 -- In the recently released Curriculum Focal Points report developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), algebra topped the list of recommended content for eighth grade curriculum. MathScore®, a highly thought of, Internet-based math environment, works alongside a school's existing curriculum to systematically build competency in algebra concepts.

"MathScore is one of the best tools we have for working with our algebra students," reports Ken Miller, a teacher and education consultant for the Los Angeles Unified School District. "MathScore seamlessly begins introducing algebra concepts without students realizing that they are actually doing 'algebra.' As students advance, they eventually become as competent in basic algebra as they are in arithmetic."

Beginning with the Single Variable Equations topic, which starts with simple algebraic problems such as, x + 3 = 5, MathScore builds student proficiency by gradually elevating the level of difficulty. From single step equations to questions with multiple steps, such as 3x - 5 = 13 + x, MathScore's patent-pending system randomly generates problems that adapt in difficulty to the individual student's needs.

From determining slope to writing linear equations from randomly generated graphs, MathScore provides tips, definitions and sample problems for the student to review before beginning each new topic. After the student submits answers for the entire worksheet, MathScore displays the correct solution method for any incorrect answers. In this way, a student can move at his or her own pace. MathScore provides remedial help for students who need it and challenges those students ready to go on to the next level.

One of MathScore's most unique features is its ability to generate the kind of algebraic word problems sometimes seen on the SATs. From train problems involving distance rate and time, to age and mixture problems, MathScore can provide infinite variations of these problems along with step-by-step solutions.

Proven to raise student math achievement, patent-pending MathScore is effective because it delivers a high volume of randomly generated math problems and step-by-step solutions to a student in a short period of time. Appropriate for skill levels from grade 2 through Algebra I, the automated scoring and rating system MathScore uses challenges students to master each level.
