Our maths program has several components including projects or inquiry based learning as well as skill development which is necessary for inquiry. The ConquerMaths is an additional platform for students to practice what is learned in the lesson and is a natural venue for the generation that loves computers. The students have books and worksheets and the ConquerMaths is yet another tool so at the end of the day, the student has multiple learning strategies and can be successful. The students also can go back and revise with ease become confident with immediate feedback which is so important in maths. Parents are also pleased to have something to monitor progress and time spend learning which is clearly tracked.
