Digital math delivered in a variety of teaching environments
Teachers decide when and where to use Aha!Math – designed to be flexible for a a variety of settings, and to help teachers meet individual student needs. Teachers can use its interactive math assignments for whole class instruction, small groups and for individual students.
- In the Classroom
As a supplemental curriculum, Aha!Math gives teachers instructional material to complement their existing curriculum. Teachers may fit it into their current pacing plan, use it to review and reinforce challenging concepts, and to teach concepts in new ways. For example, Aha!Math provides teachers with multiple models to teach multiplication, from number lines to arrays, and more.
Aha!Math is also ideal for whole class instruction using interactive whiteboards and projectors – and designed to be directed by the teacher, who can pause the action to check for student understanding.
- In the Computer Lab
Aha!Math is an ideal curriculum for computer labs with individual lessons and games that engage students in using technology, providing immediate feedback – and freeing the teacher to circulate and support students in the lab.
- For Small Groups and Intervention
Students who are struggling with specific concepts get the individualized instruction they need in a nontraditional approach to the topic they may feel they have already failed. With Aha!Math, students get immediate feedback in the games and lessons, and in a way that motivates them to come back again and again.
- At Libraries, Community Centers and Home
Build the home-to-school connection by encouraging parents to take their students to libraries or community centers for Web-access to Aha!Math, or log in at home to share the games, and engage the family.
- In Extended-Day Programs
Students in after-school programs, summer school programs and other extended-day settings benefit from Aha!Math's interactive content, and gives teachers an effective resource in mixed-ability settings.
Because it's Web-delivered, teachers can assign content for use anywhere there is an Internet connection: enrolling students in the lower grade units at the beginning of a new school year to refresh concepts, supporting excelling students with curriculum at higher levels, and helping struggling students to work together through units they have covered in class.
