RESOURCES FOR MATH

SOFTWARE RESOURCES FOR SCKSEC EDUCATORS

1. Symphony Math

   • Symphony Math is designed to help students develop a strong mathematical foundation in terms of concepts and applications. The program provides an opportunity for students to develop and practice important mathematical ideas such as:

     • number conceptualization;
     • one-to-one correspondence; and
     • part-to-whole relations.

     Symphony Math extends these important ideas to math operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and understanding of place value.

     Symphony Math is intended primarily for kindergarten through third grade students. The program can also be used with older students who struggle with math because they have yet to develop a solid conceptual foundation in mathematical reasoning. Symphony Math is based upon research in the fields of Cognitive Development and Mathematics Education.

2. Aimsweb
   • AIMSweb is a progress monitoring system based on direct, frequent and continuous student assessment. The results are reported to students, parents, teachers and administrators via a web-based data management and reporting system to determine response to intervention.
   • AIMSWEB provides the resources necessary to make data driven decisions on interventions in the classroom.  The assessments do not take very long to perform but give the teachers a wealth of data to review.
     • Awards for validity in early reading and math
