Our unique cognitive modeling technology meets the needs of each individual student by identifying weaknesses in a student's mastery of mathematical concepts, and customizing instruction to focus on areas where the student is struggling. This continual assessment of student knowledge is available immediately to the parent or instructor in a report that delivers a formative assessment of student progress. Software and Classroom Instruction Combine to Improve Student Achievement and

Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutors immerse and engage students in mathematical problem solving. The software component, which typically represents 40% of the instructional time, allows students to work at their own pace.The system is built on cognitive models, which represent the knowledge a student might possess about a given subject. The software assesses the prior mathematical knowledge of students on a step-by-step basis and presents curricula tailored to their individual skill levels. The textbook activities parallel and extend the development of concepts in the software, emphasizing written analyses and classroom presentations. Students engage in problem solving and reasoning, and communicate using multiple representations of math concepts. The textbook provides an opportunity for analysis, extended investigation, and the exploration of alternate solution paths. Real-world situations are used in problems designed to emphasize connections between verbal, numeric, graphic and algebraic representations. |
