Follow on Google News | Learning Upgrade Releases Math Upgrade 6 Courses, Previews Math Upgrade 7 at NCTMAll courses aligned with Common Core, featuring music and games to engage students with varying learning styles
By: Learning Upgrade Math Upgrade 6 is designed to support student mastery of all 6th grade Common Core standards for math. Students are guided through 60 step-by-step lessons to ensure they meet the rigors of the Common Core. Each lesson provides practice problems accompanied by immediate intervention and remediation with multimedia supports. Students repeat low scoring lessons to mastery, earning a gold certificate when proficient on every Common Core standard. “Districts across the country are working hard to prepare for the Common Core. Providing practice lessons that engage all levels of learning abilities and learning styles to reach all students is a challenge shared by many district administrators. Lessons from Learning Upgrade are a great way to help struggling learners catch up and help all students master every Common Core standard,” said Learning Upgrade co-founder Vinod Lobo. The Math Upgrade series of courses, designed by educators, cover each standard benchmark in grades 1-8. Designed from the ground up specifically for the Common Core, these courses feature practice problems in the style of the various new digital tests like those from PARCC and Smarter Balance: multi-step word problems, drag-and-drop answers, and interactive graphs. Teachers can use the courses individually or as whole-class lessons with projectors or interactive whiteboards. Learning Upgrade provides a unique opportunity for teachers to incorporate popular music, video and interaction to make math lessons engaging. In addition to introducing the new courses at NCTM, Learning Upgrade will host a session on “Math Upgrade Common Core Lessons using Songs, Video and Games.” The session will be held at 2 p.m. on both April 10 and 11 in Room 208 at the New Orleans Convention Center.
