Helping Secondary Schools with Pre-Algebra and Exit Exams, Let's Go Learn Releases Pre-Algebra Pathways

Kensington, CA (PRWEB) June 4, 2007 -- Let's Go Learn, Inc. announces the release of its newest online math differentiated instructional software, Pre-Algebra Pathways. Providing a powerful combination of pre-algebra diagnostic assessment and differentiated instruction, Pre-Algebra Pathways addresses individual student needs with breakthrough innovation and effectiveness.

Let's Go Learn CEO and co-founder Richard Capone says of this exciting new product, "Most publishers pull together a series of instructional lessons and then throw students straight into the lessons or create some weak screening tool and call it a diagnostic. We don't take this naive approach. Instead, we start with the most powerful pre-algebra assessment that anyone has ever built. Because it is intelligent, we can effectively drill down to find specific students' strengths and weaknesses across the 14 major constructs of pre-algebra. Next, because our assessment is so thorough, we can deliver best-in-class online instruction to the student's exact needs. This saves time, is logical, and works!"

Pre-Algebra Pathways starts with Let's Go Learn's Diagnostic Online Math Assessment (DOMA): Pre-Algebra. This adaptive online measure performs a detailed assessment of each student's math abilities across multiple pre-algebra constructs. Pre-Algebra Pathways then transitions the student into a customized lesson plan composed of interactive tutorials and activities that target the pre-algebra skills-gaps of each student.

Aligned with both NCTM and state standards, Pre-Algebra Pathways and the DOMA series of assessments provide teachers, parents, and students with both individual math profiles and targeted instruction. Let's Go Learn's reporting system allows parents and teachers to diagnose students' abilities and to track the progress of their students efficiently.

"Strong pre-algebra skills are essential to passing any high school exit exam. The fact that we may adaptively test multiplication math facts or reading comprehension sub-tests in real-time in our pre-algebra assessment is unheard of by other assessments. But we know that we must do this to truly understand each student's profile. Teachers need this information or their remediation will fail," comments CEO Richard Capone.
