SmartMath is an online formative assessment and math practice
system for your elementary math program. The difficulty of the
standards-aligned questions changes according to student
performance during practice sessions. Teachers can see
students' progress via time on task, success rates, and item
analysis, with reports for class and overall progress.
The pricing for SmartMath is $5 per student with a minimum
order of $1,295. Volume discounts are available. The price is
for an annual subscription which also allows the student to
access the database at home.
Summer Workshops for Math Teachers
http://www.picciotto.org/math-ed/cit/index.html
Henry Picciotto will be teaching two workshops for teachers
this summer, as part of the Center for Innovative Teaching
(CIT) at the Urban School of San Francisco.
Tuesday-Friday, August 4-7: Visual Algebra
Make algebra more accessible, richer and more fun through
visual approaches, including Lab Gear, geoboards, function
diagrams, intelligent use of technology, and more effective
group work. Learn three distinct visual paths to the
quadratic formula.
Monday-Tuesday, August 10-11: No Limits!
Broaden your pedagogical range with varied approaches to
Algebra 2, trig, and precalculus including concrete
introductions to exponential, log, inverse variation, and
trig functions; upper level applications of function
diagrams; and iterating functions as a gateway to sequences,
series, mathematical induction, and chaos.
This summer, the CIT will also offer ten other workshops in all
disciplines, and a symposium for school leaders on integrating
technology and education. Recruit a colleague from your school
to any of those, and you each get a discount!
