With an increasing emphasis on accountability and testing, especially high-stakes graduation assessment, there is an urgent need for intervention instruction including test preparation, remediation, credit recovery, and after school and summer tutoring. Current intervention methods often involve a random aggregation of existing materials that provide practice test items, practice exercises with some expository instruction for students but no clear methodology for measuring student comprehension or assessing improvement. Implementing Carnegie Learning's Cognitive Tutor software (text purchase optional) provides a cost effective, easily deployed intervention curriculum solution to help struggling math students prepare for the future.

Carnegie Learning's math curriculum, from Bridge to Algebra and Algebra I up though Geometry, Algebra II and Integrated Math, can be implemented as a full, year-long math curriculum or as a supplemental application for home tutoring. |
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. |
