Computer Instruction is only available in the Metro Toronto and Durham regions of Ontario.
Like the Academy of Reading, the Academy of Math is a research-based method of learning that enables students to significantly improve their core skills and mathematical proficiency. Students enjoy using this lively, interactive software program.
KEY COMPONENTS OF THE PROGRAM:
- Accurate Placement: A diagnostic test determines the most appropriate starting point for each student. Starting from this point, the program is individualized.
- Individualized Learning: Students work at their own pace, and in accordance with their own ability. When students answer questions, they receive immediate feedback.
Correct answers are rewarded with a piece of a puzzle; incorrect answers receive corrective feedback to help build an understanding of how the question should be answered. This keeps students highly motivated and creates opportunities for success.
- Constant Encouragement: This is provided in the form of the friendly, animated Computer Tutor. A Computer Guide, chosen by the student, congratulates them each time they master a skill area. Awards and printable certificates are also generated.
- Skills Progression: Students cover one skill at a time. They only advance to the next stage of learning when they have achieved proficiency at the preceding level.
- Comprehensive Curriculum: From beginners to basic high school students, the
Academy of Math provides eight levels of mathematical exercises across the following subject areas:
- numeration
- addition
- subtraction
- multiplication
- division
- fractions
- equations
- measurement
- geometry
- and graphing.
THE LEARNING PROCESS:
- Tutorial Format: This provides guided instruction in key math concepts. Understanding is reinforced through a variety of examples.
- Terms and Concepts: Students apply their knowledge of terms and concepts so that they can work through a series of multiple choice questions.
- Operations: Students now draw on their mastery of terms and concepts to answer numeric computation questions.
- Higher-Order Problem Solving: Students may now use all they have learned in order to evaluate and solve word problems. This is the final step to mastery of each level - measured in terms of true knowledge and accuracy.
