Synopsis

Interactive Mathematics is an innovative new learning system that covers the full series of developmental mathematics in an interactive, multimedia environment. Interactive Math uses animation, video, audio, graphics, and math tools to support multiple learning styles. It is a program complete with instruction, practice, applications, and assessment. Introduction — A brief teaching statement directs the reader's attention toward mastering a particular skill. A visual representation of the skill is also presented. Read — Book with accompanying audio (which may be disabled) addresses the needs of those who feel more comfortable reading about the concepts and skills before exploring or working problems. Watch — Visual learners can watch and listen as example problems are worked out clearly and completely by the author in a brief on-screen video. Explore — This feature offers the most interactive learning experience because one can master the skills and learn the concept through discovery.
