Learning.com offers K-6 math curriculum fully aligned to Common Core State Standards

Portland, OR – November 1, 2010
Districts and teachers in a growing number of states face new challenges to help students meet the Common Core State Standards. They must reorganize their teaching plans, match the new standards, and fuel their students’ desire to be successful math learners. Learning.com’s Aha!Math for Common Core now provides teachers with engaging and motivating K-6 supplemental math curriculum fully aligned to the Common Core standards. Aha!Math supports teachers to understand how well their students are meeting these standards, and what they should teach next to keep them moving forward.

• Motivates and excites students to engage with math – encouraging them to build their conceptual fluency for greater success in their later school years.
• Gives teachers the data to individualize instruction with benchmark reports tied to its summative assessments that track student progress and document student growth.
• Saves teachers time with multiple models of instruction that address a wide variety of learning styles.

“We often hear from teachers that Aha!Math is like having a second teacher in the class with them,” says Diana Laboy-Rush, former math teacher and manager of STEM solutions for Learning.com. “Now that Aha!Math is also aligned to the Common Core standards, we make it easier for teachers to quickly find what they need, and spend more time with their students.”

Aha!Math for Common Core is delivered through Learning.com’s digital learning environment, Sky, with teacher-friendly tools that take the hassles out of classroom management. Teachers can group students in intervention tiers or ability groups to truly individualize instruction right down to one student. They can easily grade and track student progress, dialog with students in assignments and math journals, and even find other teachers’ proven math lessons, all in Sky.

Aha!Math also supports teachers working with ELL students toward Common Core standards, with K-2 content in both English and Spanish, a Spanish math glossary and strategy guides for teaching math to ELL students.
