Mathletics improves mathematics skills

Mathletics improves mathematics skills

Mathletics is America’s top math web site used and trusted by millions of schools worldwide.

According to the Mathcounts Foundation, Mathletics is the next generation in learning, helping students enjoy math while improving results. It is an essential curriculum-based resource for students in math courses.

Mathletics provides users with a range of mathematics activities from various topics which cover the full primary and secondary mathematics curriculum.

Math teacher Aimee Paa said, “I enjoy the various tools that Mathletics offers students. Teachers have the ability to assign practice tests that correspond to the curriculum the students are learning. From the feedback I have gotten, these practice tests have proven to be helpful.”

The easy-to-use, kid-friendly interface and process-oriented support center provides students with immediate feedback, allowing students to be engaged and motivated to learn.

The questions are tailored to the ability of individual students so that they can work through the curriculum at their own pace. Since the web site is accessible all day, students can log on at any time.

Junior Haley Clark said, “I think that Mathletics is beneficial for me because it is a way to earn extra credit points; however, if you forget to do it every week, it can dramatically change your grade.”

The site claims that “students love it, becoming highly motivated to improve.”

Senior Dominique Dold said, “I actually enjoy doing Mathletics. It helps me practice my math skills and gives me something to do during the weekends.”

Mathletics allows students to compete in competitions against students from around the world.

Senior Caitlin McCarthy said, “Challenging other students from around the world is exciting. It’s a great way to remain sharp with simple math computations.”

Math teachers agree.

“Mathletics activities reinforce classroom content, review previously learned skills and offer a means to explore new areas.  There is excitement in the live competition module as students challenge others from around the world in progressively more challenging math concepts – from basic arithmetic facts to algebra and pre-calculus,” said Math chair Deborah Kula.
