Math Apprentice answers the question that nearly every student will ask during his or her math career:
When are we ever going to use this stuff in the real world?
Sure, there are some obvious real world connections. Money, time, and measurement are all very relevant concepts. Other areas of math, such as number theory and functions, are more cryptic and can seem disconnected from real life. Math Apprentice reveals the connections by showing students how math is used in a variety of interesting professions.
"At Mathalicious, we believe that math isn't something to learn, but a tool to learn about other things. Our mission is to help transform the way math is taught by providing you with the best, most meaningful and most relevant math content available. Our lessons are aligned to traditional state standards but, unlike most content, emphasize conceptual understanding through engaging real-world applications."
ExploreLearning offers a catalog of modular, interactive simulations in math and science for teachers and students in grades 3-12. We call these simulations Gizmos.
Gizmos are fun, easy to use, and flexible enough to support many different teaching styles and contexts.
Our Gizmos are designed as supplemental curriculum materials that support state and national curriculum standards; in addition, Gizmos help teachers bring research-proven instructional strategies to their classrooms.

IF STUDENTS are to succeed in today's complex economy, they need to know more than just English, math, science, and history. They also need a range of analytic and workplace skills.
Mastering those skills means learning how to think critically and creatively, work collaboratively, use the Internet to do research, and communicate clearly and effectively.
Students also need to be responsible and accountable, to be up on the news, and to have a workable knowledge of economics and business.
