Here's a quick overview of Core Math on Albert.
Our Core Math content is organized into a suite of
five distinct courses. To begin,
Foundations of Algebra includes math topics from fifth through
eighth grade. Our high school math courses reflect the latest trends in
standards-based instruction while being flexible enough to work with any
curriculum or textbook (even integrated math courses). Albert's
Core Math courses all share a similar structure: broad
themes are organized into specific topics.
Topics are split into Levels that gradually increase in difficulty.
To build procedural fluency,
many topics also include Skill Practice questions,
featuring repetitive skill-based prompts.
Our Foundations of Algebra course covers over
200 middle school math standards organized into five broad themes. Here's
a topic on inequalities. Level 1
focuses on a basic understanding of inequality symbols.
While level 2 asks students to test inequality
solutions. Our
high school courses follow the scope and sequence of a typical high school
curriculum. From our Algebra 1 course,
here's a topic on slope-intercept form.
Level 1 starts with selecting points that are included on a given line while
the more advanced Level 4 includes writing slope-intercept equations
that model a chipmunk burrowing through an ancient tunnel.
This Skill Practice subtopic focuses exclusively on graphing lines with
slope-intercept form...perfect
for providing repeated at bats on a specific skill.
Our diverse question types keep students engaged in meaningful practice.
Formats include: multiple choice, multiple select,
fill in the blank, free entry and two-way tables.
Additionally,
our math prompts include a rigorous mix of skill, application, and
conceptual prompts. Skill questions are traditional fluency-based prompts
such as finding the distance between two points. Application
questions require applying knowledge in real-life situations such
as finding the length of a fence around a garden.
And deep thinking conceptual questions push students to
demonstrate authentic understanding beyond just discrete procedures,
such as this prompt that requires analysis of unknown variable coordinates.
Every Albert question includes a detailed
explanation.
The concise Background section reminds students of relevant mathematical
and the Solution section provides narrative details on how to answer the
prompt.
The Explanation of Distractors clarifies why each incorrect answer
is wrong. Questions
are aligned to the Common Core standards and a variety of state-specific
standards. Tags include content keywords,
the relevant integrated math subject,
and whether the prompt is primarily focused on skill, application, or
conceptual understanding.
Licensed schools gain access to Albert-exclusive assessments.
Our Diagnostic Exams are perfect for quickly identifying
students' strengths and areas of growth.
Our shorter Topic Quizzes are designed for formative assessment throughout the
school year. With thousands of questions from Albert,
math teachers can create: do nows, independent practice,
group discussions, homework, exit tickets, and quizzes.
Our Core Math content can be used for strategic
exam prep. For example,
this important SAT Math topic on linear equations can be
supplemented with this topic from our core Algebra 1 course.
AP Statistics teachers can scaffold this AP
topic on standard deviation with questions from this Algebra 2 topic on
describing distributions.
Students in AP Calculus can prepare for questions on continuity by
working through this similar topic in Precalculus.
