K-7 Mathematics Course

5  Math Races: Important for improving speed and automaticity  Lectures: Mini-lessons that provide base of knowledge  Exercises: Problem solving to move through the curriculum  Motion: Determines mastery and next strand and exercise  Hints: Remediation when first response is not correct

6  Number Sense: Integers  Number Sense: Decimals and Fractions  Geometry  Logic and Reasoning  Measurement  Data/Statistics/Probability

7  After each exercise, depending on the result, the program determines what a student should do next  This ensures individualization even for similar students

8 A Sample Mini-lesson Screen

9

Time: minutes per week These minutes should occur with regular use such as every day or every other day CFAs (Correct First Attempts): per week After each exercise, depending on the result, the program determines what a student should do next

Reports are easily accessed for the teacher for the group or for the individual Students and parents can view individual student progress, strand by strand, including a replay of work completed (Session Calendar)  The Concept Summary gives details of progress through course concepts  Teachers can also view the entire group and use reports to drive instruction

With a click on the desktop icon

 EPGY creates a username and password for each student  The teacher can find the usernames and passwords on the “reports” tab in the management system under “student accounts”  A login screen will appear

You should click on “Run Course” to begin the program

Math Races come at the beginning of each session The goal of a math race is to work on speed and accuracy You will race against your previous performance You will select a race car or a swimmer, answer the question, click “enter” or “return” to see a green (correct) or red (incorrect) flash When the races are completed, the program will advance the student to the lesson

Swimmers or Fast Cars

Start !!!

The cars !

Listen, Read, and Take Notes

…to work independently. Listen to the lectures Use notebooks to list vocabulary, to list other facts to remember, to use to write out a process or a calculation Use the hints to answer the exercise on a second try Calculators??????
