TenMarks Math

Heard of TenMarks Math?  I had not until yesterday!  If you have I would love for you to leave some comments on how your are using it and whether you find it a useful resource for your classroom.

For those of you who have not heard of it, TenMarks Math is a web based program for teachers to differentiate and individualize their math instruction.  There is a free version, which is fantastic, and of course you can upgrade to the premium version for a fee.  You can set up your class and have all of your students using this adaptive program during interventions, small groups or independently.  I signed up, created a fictional class and assigned curriculum in no time and at all.
They do offer a webinar every Wednesday to help you get set up and provides tips on how to best utilize this program in your classroom.  The only flaw that I have found thus far is that there is no audio choice for kids to click in order to listen to the questions if they cannot read.  However, there is a video lesson for each assignment that you assign to your student and best of all you can choose the curriculum based on state standards or the common core.

To try out a grade and get a feel for the program click here.  This program is also iPad compatible; however, it seems that not all of the video lessons are up and running quite yet.

Here are a few videos that you can watch to learn more about TenMarks.
