AlgebraCARDS is at the National Title I Conference: Frontiers of Opportunity.

​We strive to see the epiphany in every child as they learn Algebra, and we salute the teachers and administrators who are making a difference in the lives of all learners.
Stop by our booth! #426



How Is AlgebraCARDS perfect for Title 1?
When we designed AlgebraCARDS, we built metacognitive strategies directly into the program. It's critical that curriculum addresses the specific needs of diverse learners while giving them time to absorb and practice new concepts. AlgebraCARDS works in dynamic ways to do just that in a blend of technology and math.
  • We made free podcasts for every card. Listening while reading improves cognition.  Try a sample podcast!
  • Each card has a different layout, so a mental picture can be readily recalled.
  • Each card is brightly colored, clear, and easy to read with fun ways to remember the steps of a problem.
  • Each card is a made of a special rewrite-able surface that works perfectly for dry erase problem practice.  
  • AlgebraCARDS is multi-sensory, appealing to learners in a unique way.
We made sure everyone can learn from AlgebraCARDS.  We know you're going to love using them. Try a sample podcast!

"Not a Math Person?" Poppycock!

NOT A MATH PERSON "small interventions 2 change attitudes about learning can have an outsized effect on performance" https://t.co/tSsxWDLmDg

— Algebra Cards (@AlgebraCards) December 1, 2015

not a math person? Poppycock! 

     When you look at the research in this article, it's easy to see that math scores are on the verge of an educational explosion. As we learn more about the brain and its capabilities, we are beginning to see just how impressively it can adapt.  There is a link to the research done with taxi drivers in London showing how portions of their brains grow when studying for a test and shrink after they retire.
     Then there are... 
"...researchers like Carol Dweck, Camille Farrington and David Yeager have shown repeatedly that small interventions to change attitudes about learning can have an outsized effect on performance."
​So a small adjustment to the attitudes we have toward math can result in big improvements achievement. And all teachers know that small successes build confidence. (It's one of the choices for electronic report card comments.)

     AlgebraCARDS works to build confidence by helping learners to see and hear the concepts of algebra with clarity and in full color. Because we have made a podcast for every card, it just so happens that your brain will grow when you study with AlgebraCARDS. Designed to make math learning fun and engaging, most cards have a "Let's Play" review to show you how to win at the game of math.

     Get your cards here! Listen to the podcasts here! Practice everyday, and you'll see your math scores take flight!

AET Conference 2014

Association of EDUCATIONAL THERAPISTS 36th Annual Conference
Bridging Social Neuroscience and Learning
October 24-26, 2014

Picture
We are fresh back from the Association for Educational Therapists Conference. It was so inspiring to know there are people at all levels making a profound difference in education and very often literally one child at a time. The AET Conference brought together a consortium of neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, therapists, university professors, administrators, social workers, teachers, and parents. This year's theme for the 36th Annual Conference was "Bridging Social Neuroscience and Learning". The theme alone shows these brilliant people are on the pioneering edge of educational development. They are taking on diagnosing the specific needs of every learner, developing best practices based on the latest brain science, and fine tuning those practices with learners that benefit most from this giant collaborative endeavor.
These trailblazers of educational neuroscience, create developmental tools and practices that make learning accessible to the disabled and uncover ways to leverage the mechanisms of the brain as sources of efficiency in learning. As the educational therapy community finds solutions for the diagnosed, we see that all learners benefit from these findings.

In our talks with the AET community it's easy to see how AlgebraCARDS was designed to fit the needs of every learner. A multisensory learning program that uses color to chunk information, connect themes, focus tracking skills, and highlight main ideas. A podcast for each card builds on student perseverance, close reading strategies, and deeper learning.

We are thankful to the AET for giving us the opportunity to be a part of their community, and we look forward to continue contributing to them in the years to come.

1,000 Child Challenge!

help us reach out to Under-served Students!

Picture
We have an ultimate goal to get AlgebraCards into the hands of 10,000 students and are using IndieGogo to crowd source the beginning of funding for this endeavor. You can wish us luck or go to the site and donate on behalf of under-served children in the U.S.

AlgebraCards along with AlgebraCast is a fun and effective way to practice a difficult subject. When kids practice and study math, they are setting themselves up for success in higher education and better opportunities in tomorrow's job market. 

We have been working hard to make an eye catching algebra study tool (Yes, you read that right.  Eye catching and algebra in the same sentence.) We have researched best practices in learning, the latest U.S. learning standards (Common Core), and thousands of our own students to find that our "system" of learning exemplifies the common core and deeper learning strategies, benefits all types of learners, and it is fun. 

Help us create leaders of the future! Visit the link below and donate whatever you can.
Thank you!

Listening While Reading

Supported Reading is a fancy term for "Follow along while so-and-so reads to you." It has been shown to help all types of students learn in all subject areas. 

Since learning math is like learning another language and supported reading is another form of effective learning, wouldn't it be great to have a language lab for algebra? Math learners would get to Preview and Review content, and they would be "38% more likely to learn" when listening to someone read about algebra.  Teachers would benefit from this, too. If their students preview the material, teachers get a classroom full of active listeners.

In fact 38% more learning 
gets done when students 
follow along 
as someone reads to them.

AlgebraCAST is a library of podcasts for every card we have designed. It's another way to learn algebra.  When students follow along with AlgebraCARDS, every podcast has a purpose. This multimedia format is a Supported Reading technique that also gives learners control of the reader, a very important static image, and their own personal listening lab.
