Innovative Math Series Teaches Elementary Data Analysis Through Authentic Context and Interactive Activities

Learning Today, Inc., a South Florida-based reading and math software publisher (http://www.learningtoday.com), announced the release today of their new Adobe Flash-based data analysis math series for grades K through 5. This release completes the company's already extensive online elementary Smart Tutor math program.


These new data analysis math lessons are designed to cognitively engage students and increase their intrinsic motivation to learn through the use of student-centered, content-related, purposeful interactions in a game-like setting. The program’s new lessons include age-appropriate themes, characters, and animations that are of interest to elementary students as well as older, struggling learners in middle and high school.
