At Pine Tree Junior High School, Think Through Math is used as a supplemental math curriculum in addition to supporting the core math class. Students in grades 7 and 8 engage with the program in a computer lab 5 days a week during a 50-minute period. Because the program is motivational and web-based, students also use the program outside of school. Many access the program from home or community centers – anywhere they have an internet connection.
Students enjoy the program because they see their math performance improve. This helps their self-esteem and has a huge impact on their performance in other classes. What I also love about the program is that it’s proven to work. It produces quantifiable gains that can be measured.
