LearningThis resource offers practice in hundreds of math concepts broken down by grade level. The practice offers questions worth points and timed so that progress can be tracked. When a student gives an incorrect answer the site offers an explanation, complete with "work" shown in solving the problem as you would expect the student to give.
The majority of the learning taking place here is instrumental in that it is skilled practice. The learner is practicing math skills rather than exploring and using visuals to learn new math ideas. TechnologyThis technology is a way to give practice in many different areas along with explanation for wrong answers. Much of the content focuses on carrying out a math strategy rather than offering visual representations or thorough understanding. The problems are given more of a game-like feel as they are counted and timed to monitor the growth of students.
