How MathScore Makes Teachers More Effective Due to No Child Left Behind, teachers are under more pressure than ever before to raise test scores. With mounds of paperwork, this can be quite stressful. The paperless nature of MathScore relieves teacher stress. Rather than be an adversary, MathScore ends up being a friend that saves most teachers a lot of time. The end result is that teachers have more time to focus on teaching. Teacher and Student Dynamics Using MathScore When students log in with their accounts, they focus on whatever was recommended by the teacher. In many cases, they end up working on basic skills, particularly math facts automaticity. In one hour, a typical student will do hundreds of math problems. A class of 30 will do more than 6000 math problems in a typical lab session. It would be downright impossible for a teacher to grade this much work, let alone track progress. In addition, the problem difficulty adapts based on student performance, guaranteeing that the work the students are doing is always relevant to their needs. MathScore always provides instant feedback, and for sophisticated topics, step-by-step solution explanations. This makes MathScore ideal for remediation. In addition, the instant feedback, series of levels, cumulative score, and ranking system make MathScore lots of fun for most students, resulting in strong motivation to concentrate. A teacher who understands this can use MathScore to remediate her students with basic math skills and spend more class time teaching mathematical concepts. It is very satisfying for a teacher to focus on mathematical understanding during class time, and leave the dirty work to MathScore for intensive remediation. Not surprisingly, the most advanced students learn even faster while using MathScore. We've observed multiple students in a single Title 1 class score perfect 600s on the California STAR exam. These students often like MathScore enough to log in from home, even during the holidays. MathScore Keeps Teachers Informed MathScore's reporting tools enable teachers to know exactly when every student logged in, how much time was spent working, and what progress was made. These tools are great for parent-teacher conferences. In addition, the teacher can see the result of every single worksheet that was done, making it easy to troubleshoot students who are struggling with particular concepts. Teachers can elect to receive automated progress reports via email on either a daily or weekly basis. Since the average teacher is rather passive, the fact that these reports are automated makes a huge difference.
