Get More Math provides cumulative practice sessions uniquely tailored to each student's needs, supporting mastery of new skills and long-term retention. Made by a math teacher to empower other math teachers, GMM is a hyper-intelligent teacher’s aid that creates daily personalized assignments. Math Skill Retention Every math teacher knows it is hard to help students to learn a new skill, but even harder to make sure it sticks. Will a student retain new concepts next week — or next year? Get More Math is designed by a math teacher to ensure that the answer is: yes! GMM builds math practice sessions for each student that include both new material and thorough review of old concepts and skills. As the year progresses, the teacher can gradually select more types of problems for these sessions. Every day, a student logs in to a new mix of practice problems, selected for her based on data collected during all her former sessions. Is she weak on graphing? There will be a graphing problem. Is she a champ at multiplying decimals? Probably there won’t be any problems of that type presented, although occasionally GMM will include one during a mixed review session to make sure she still remembers. GMM Targets Math Mastery When a student gets a problem wrong, he must correct it and then complete an additional, similar problem before moving to a new problem type. Also, GMM notes the error and ensures that in following days this type of problem appears again. Using GMM, students complete more math problems with greater variety and higher accountability. As a bonus, students love using GMM! They appreciate the ability to earn game time and instant messaging, as well as the option of competing with other students. They like to see colorful skill indicators as they gradually advance levels.
