"In the world of virtual reality, anything can happen. Watch The Math Dude, the award winning video series that helps middle and high school students improve their Algebra skills. Mike DeGraba is the Math Dude in these fast-paced programs aimed at helping students with Algebra I as they are also being taught in the classroom. Each program helps students understand different parts of algebra instruction, which is one of the High School Assessment tests required to graduate."

"Welcome to our Flipped-Mastery Classroom Website. The site is for your use with contributing teachers from Baumholder, Kaiserslautern and Ramstein High Schools. We are so glad that you are taking responsibility for your education in Algebra and hope that this site is beneficial for you. "

In response to a well-documented need to improve algebra learning, CAST this week released two innovative, research-based educational games that teach essential math reasoning and problem-solving skills. The puzzles-MathScaled and MathSquared-are now available through Apple's iTunes Store at no charge.

"MathSquared is a prototype series of grid-based puzzles using basic math operations that help learners develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies. Puzzles have different levels of challenge and include embedded supports for solving, such as a Scratch Pad for recording information that supports problem solving and the option for immediate feedback on your progress. These puzzles were developed as part of the iSolveIt project at CAST (http://www.cast.org), an educational research & development organization that works to expand learning opportunities for all individuals through Universal Design for Learning (UDL). iSolveIt is a mobile digital learning environment that supports the development of logical thinking and reasoning skills, essential competencies for algebra and mathematics in general."

The environment includes a collection of tablet-based puzzles that have been designed using the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL)."

"The Progressive Science Initiative (PSI) is a program designed to support high levels ofPSI logo student achievement in physics, chemistry, and biology and was developed over 10 years by teachers. This program has led to high levels of Advanced Placement (AP) participation and passing rates. Using the same research-based, successful approaches as PSI, the ProgressivePMI logo Mathematics Initiative (PMI) was developed by teachers to support all of K-12 mathematics. Developed first to support the teaching of Algebra, these courses now also lead to AP Calculus."

"A growing collection of mathematics education videos related to Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, and AP Statistics:) I have a BS in Mathematics Education and 19 years of teaching experience at the high school level. The videos you will find on my site are full lessons that include multiple examples to help you understand math and complete your homework.

"Many children today struggle with mathematics while other children want greater challenges. DragonBox is a revolutionary game that will make your child enjoy learning mathematics while progressing at his or her own pace. Our intention has been to create a game that children experience as a real game that is actually fun, but where they after one hour of playing, they will be able to solve mathematic equations that they never thought they would be able to solve so quickly before."
