Oklahoma selects Learning.com math, science and technology solutions as part of its approved materials
Online curriculum helps districts support teachers in critical core subjects, and provides students with motivating digital experiences
Portland, Ore. – Dec. 15, 2009
The The Oklahoma State Textbook Committee approved Learning.com’s online curriculum for math, science and technology literacy, enabling the state’s districts to select these solutions.
The committee approved Aha!Math as part of its Oklahoma Mathematics Adoption. Aha!Math provides teachers with a research-based supplemental math curriculum that builds students’ procedural fluency and conceptual understanding in math’s most critical concepts. It engages and motivates students through interactive instruction, lessons and math games that make math come alive for students. It also provides teachers with an effective instructional model to engage students in learning and practicing, and multiple ways to teach math concepts they often find difficult to teach.
Additionally, the State Textbook Committee also approved two Learning.com solutions:
- Aha!Science, a supplemental science curriculum for grades 3-5, and a resource for middle school foundational learning. It provides teachers with engaging, interactive science lessons, games and activities that make science come alive for their students, and provides them with instructional support in a subject they too often say they feel unprepared to teach.
- EasyTech, a K-8 technology literacy curriculum that makes it easy for teachers to integrate technology skills into math, science, language arts and social studies.
"We've created an easy way for teachers to get students excited and motivated to engage with STEM-related topics in their classrooms, and for students to be successful in their learning so they stay engaged throughout their school careers," says William J. Kelly, Learning.com's CEO. "Learning.com is a pioneer in developing digital curriculum that motivates students, and in making it easy for teachers to incorporate digital learning experiences into their teaching."
