Compelling Graphics and Active Learning Engage Today's Students
SAN DIEGO -- Adaptive Curriculum announced today at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) conference in San Diego that it is releasing a new concept learning solution for high school math that builds on its award-winning middle school solution. The new solution features engaging digital manipulatives, activities, and problem-solving exercises covering Algebra I, Algebra II, and Probability and Statistics.
Because many high-school students struggle with math concepts and math anxiety, Adaptive Curriculum has developed a deep concept mastery approach designed to help all students improve their mathematics skills. To engage today's digital-age learners, the solution integrates compelling graphics into active learning to sustain engagement throughout the learning process. Cara Herkamp, Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction in the Cave Creek Unified School District in Arizona, says that "Adaptive Curriculum provides hands-on, project-based math experiences that empower students to learn critical math concepts."
Unlike traditional rote methods, the solution fosters the deep motivation and confidence that underlie student improvement. According to Senior Director of Research and Development Dr. Deborah Stirling, "Our new high school math solution meets students and engages them at their level. It integrates manipulatives, high-quality graphics, and visualizations with problem-solving skills to make math enjoyable and build understanding at a deep level."
With over 140 new high school lessons, activities, and simulations, the solution is designed to improve student engagement and retention while providing ready-to-use digital materials for teachers to improve efficiency and lesson planning. The activities are aligned to state and national standards, following core curriculum standards and content as outlined by NCTM. A partnership with renowned faculty at Arizona State University ensures that curriculum scope aligns with current research.
According to CEO Jim Bowler, "Our high school solution engages a range of students with its videogame-like graphics, realistic visualizations, interactivity, and real-world content. For school administrators it provides a high-quality, high-value solution that addresses student improvement concerns."
Activity objects are deliverable in the classroom for instructor-led, group, or individual instruction and are accessible anywhere students have an Internet connection. The Adaptive Curriculum award-winning concept mastery solution also includes middle and high school science. For more information, please visit NCTM booth 1750 or www.adaptivecurriculum.com.
