Computer Lab - Larson's Math

Our school has a program called Larson's math. I have seen various grade levels use this valuable math tool such as, kindergarten, 3rd grade and 2nd grade. It is available for k-5th at our school. Each child has their own login name and password. The program reinforces valuable foundations in math such as, measuring, adding, subtracting, multiplying, patterning, and geometry spatial skills, to name a few. The program is extremely engaging and fun for the students. It is also a valuable assessment tool for the teacher. I found out on Friday that a teacher can access her class roster and determine which parts of the lesson a student has completed and what percentage of correct answers that child has obtained. It also shows how much time the student spent working on any given section. It allows teachers to take a grade, know what concepts her class has mastered, and what concepts need further teaching or reteaching.
