Press Release
January 4th, 2007
MathResources’ Vocabulary Demo Now Standard on the NOVA5000
Inside Math: Vocabulary & Concepts software provides an interactive, richly illustrated context for teaching the vocabulary students need to succeed on high stakes tests.
This is MathResources’ latest addition to the powerful set of educational tools it has made available for use on the Nova5000, an affordable, Windows CE tablet computer developed by Fourier Systems specifically for schools.
Math Vocabulary is Key
For 60 years researchers like Robert Marzano have demonstrated the powerful connection between vocabulary knowledge and achievement.
For example:
- Direct vocabulary instruction on specific content-area terms boosts comprehension levels from the 50th to the 83rd percentile.
- High achieving students on standardized tests know 4,500 to 6,000 more words than low achieving students.
A Simple & Useful Tool for Grades 4 to 12
Interactive applets, illustrations & hyper-linked definitions help teachers begin teaching direct math vocabulary immediately with almost no professional development.
Inside Math helps teachers quickly prepare lessons and demonstrate concepts. Students use it for individual exploration or as a just-in-time reference.
Try the Demo
The demo included with every new NOVA5000 features a complete list of Inside Math’s 1125 vocabulary terms including fifty-three active terms spanning algebra, arithmetic, geometry, measurement, number theory, statistics, trigonometry, reasoning and enrichment.
Active terms are complete with definitions, interactive applets, hyperlinks, illustrations and pronunciation sound files.
