This collection is a comprehensive resource covering critical algebraic concepts for the middle grades including algebraic functions, properties of numbers, exponents, polynomials, working with equalities and inequalities, linear equations, quadratic equations, graphs, and algebraic geometry.
Electronic Resource—practice test and support
The Digital Math materials include carefully crafted multiple-choice questions to provide students with the opportunity to practice their test-taking skills as well as perform self-assessment. Instant feedback lets students know right away if their answers were correct. At any time in this process, students may click on a handy icon on the Web page to view a QuickTime© video tutorial on screen explaining how to solve the problem. These short videos feature master teachers demonstrating how to attack the problem while discussing information about the math concepts related to the problem. Students are free to review the video tutorial whenever and as often as they wish.
Operation and Installation
This collection of materials operates within an Internet browser (IE and Firefox preferred) and requires QuickTime© player (free) to view the videos. AIT will ship the Digital Math Web site on disk.
- A disk license permits use on one single computer at a time.
- A building license permits networked use throughout the school building, or through any password-protected authorized use from an off-site authorized user.
- Licenses available for district, region, state, or for inter-building WAN use.
Digital Math Tutorials on DVD
Many of the Digital Math Video tutorials are also available on DVD. The Digital Math DVDs are enhanced with captions for the hearing-impaired and additional audio descriptions for the visually impaired. Accessible menus allow the visually impaired users to easily navigate the DVD. These enhancements were made possible through a U.S. Department of Education grant to CaptionMax (www.captionmax.com). Digital Math DVDs are organized by topic:
- Algebra I�Linear Equations and Functions (31 clips, approx. 100 minutes of video)
- Algebra I—Quadratic Equations and Functions (30 clips, approx. 100 minutes of video)
Created by the Merced County Office of Education, Merced, CA ©2006-08. DVDs were developed in cooperation with AIT ©2008-09.
