New LearnKey Math Courses Help Teachers and Students Conquer Algebra.Designed to Assist Teachers Inside and Outside the Classroom, the New Courses Are More Appealing to Student Senses ST. GEORGE, Utah St. George is a city located in the southwestern part of the U.S. state of Utah, and the county seat of Washington County, Utah.GR6 It is the principal city of and is included in the St. George, Utah Metropolitan Statistical Area. -- Traditionally the only technology involved in teaching math was a calculator calculator or calculating machine, device for performing numerical computations; it may be mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic. The electronic computer is also a calculator but performs other functions as well. , a tool most teachers would rather their students avoid. These days, both teachers and students are welcoming technology in the classroom, this time in the form of two new LearnKey series on math skills. Pre-Algebra and Algebra algebra, branch of mathematics concerned with operations on sets of numbers or other elements that are often represented by symbols. Algebra is a generalization of arithmetic and gains much of its power from dealing symbolically with elements and operations (such as by LearnKey are on-demand math courses designed to be supplemental aids for K-12 teachers or anyone else interested in advancing their knowledge of mathematics. Pre-Algebra by LearnKey covers basic positive and negative numbers, fractions, decimals, percentages and more. Algebra by LearnKey covers dealing with real numbers, exponents, polynomials, equations and more. "Math is naturally difficult for many students, and the way it's traditionally taught doesn't do much to counter that," said John Clemons, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of LearnKey. "While textbooks and chalkboards are essential, we've designed these courses to bring math alive for the students in a manner that is much more appealing to their senses. Additionally, they'll be able to access these lessons from home, word for word, to help with homework." In fact, the most recent Net Day survey of over 200,000 students showed that, of all subjects possible, they would like math much better if they could utilize more technology in learning it. This was true of kids from kindergarten kindergarten [Ger.,=garden of children], system of preschool education. Friedrich Froebel designed (1837) the kindergarten to provide an educational situation less formal than that of the elementary school but one in which children's creative play instincts would be up to seniors in high school. Kids of all ages are now using their laptops for schoolwork and play, so it's only natural that they be able to access their lessons there as well. The courses benefit teachers by providing an always-accessible supplement to their instruction, and they can track student access and progress through LearnKey's OnlineExpert portal. Teachers also have the option of requiring the students to watch segments from home, thereby retaining classroom time for lessons they deem more vital. Both series meet National Council of Teachers of Mathematics The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) was founded in 1920. It has grown to be the world's largest organization concerned with mathematics education, having close to 100,000 members across the USA and Canada, and internationally.
