Farnaz we will be presenting at the California Consortium for Independent Study in San Francisco on February 5th, 2015. The C.C.I.S "supports and promotes the interests of teachers, counselors, paraprofessionals, and administrators working in K-adult independent study" and has shown an interest in the AlgebraCARDS system. 

Farnaz will be presenting for an hour in the morning and again in the afternoon sharing the benefits of the AlgebraCARDS system, running through sample instructional strategies, and demonstrating the AlgebraCAST podcast library.

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!

Staples in Torrance gave us a table to promote AlgebraCARDS.

AlgebraCARDS is a resource for students to practice the 8 Principles of Mathematics, making steps clear and simple to understand by using a visual guidance system.  In the classroom, with collaboration at its core purpose, this resource lends itself to social play, which teaches us how to share and take turns, how to communicate, and how to behave in groups or on teams.  Testing and discussing ideas with others can enhance individual creative abilities and provide more options for perseverance when solving problems.

We can't wait to see how AlgebraCARDS make learning algebra fun for everyone.

Something to think about from Scientific American.

"...research suggests that even so-called digital natives are more likely to recall the gist of a story when they read it on paper..."

One of the reasons we designed Algebra Cards as a static text rather than a digital app is that technology, for now, is moving faster than human evolution. Most would agree that there are no short cuts for learning and that practice makes perfect. So, we made flash cards that make mastering algebra fun. Tell us how you enjoy your Algebra Cards!
