math class
By Lisa

I don't know what kind of a budget your school has, but let me recommend the Accelerated Math program. It individualizes for every child. It allows students to move as quickly or slowly through objectives as they need too.
It constantly reviews, and you select the objectives. The students are motivated because it instantly scores their activity and prints them out a new one. They work towards a goal and are very competitive. The computer keeps track of all the grades, and like I said before grades all the papers.(Less for you on menial tasks)It will also red flag certain objectives to you that several

students are having difficulty with. Thats when you step in and do a power lesson with a small group. AR math allows me to work one on one with more students in a week then I have previously in a semester. And I know everyone is getting what they need. If you've never been to a Renaissance Learning meeting, you should at least check it out. Our math scores saw a huge growth on the standardized test last year. We started out piloting the AR Math program in 2 5th grade classrooms and loved it so much that we convinced our school to put it in every classroom in school!!!! Its wonderful. If you need more info let me know. Good luck
