What does the First In Math® Online Program do?
First In Math is an online math-practice tool that leverages students’ love of gaming to build skills and create high levels of engagement. It delivers fluency in basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, while advancing higher-order thinking skills such as mental math, problem solving, pattern sensing, reasoning and number sense through Deep Practice.
Can I use it with all my students?
YES! First In Math is appropriate for addition- through algebra-ready students, and aligns to standards. Broad content with an open-ended, self-pacing design is ideal for differentiated instruction and individualized learning plans.
We automatically set a Focus Mode — Early (K2), Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced — appear before games can be accessed. When chosen, each takes the child to grade-level material. Teachers retain the flexibility to make adjustments and allow students to work in additional areas.
Is it easy to use?
The feedback we most often hear is "If I had known it was this easy, I would have done it long ago!" Automatic Awards encourage students to push forward; you employ easy-to-use tools for assessing their proficiency.
Is it effective?
Scientific-based studies demonstrate that test scores elevate and attitudes about math also improve. Just minutes a day — in the classroom or at home — can increase math success and get kids excited! Students start on "easier" material and work through more challenging content. Every game in every module includes positive feedback to boost confidence.
