Revising Misconceptions and Closing Gaps in Learning

Why some students hate math

While students take math every year, many struggle to master key mathematical skills and concepts – and to apply what they know to problem solving. These students appear
unable to fill these gaps despite being re-taught numerous times. Research shows that what may be holding these students back is not a lack of knowledge, but incorrect knowledge or even correct knowledge misapplied. These gaps and misconceptions inevitably lead to poor performance on state tests and later to failure in algebra. Students end up hating math and give up in confusion.

Correcting Misconceptions and Closing Gaps

Now America’s Choice – a leading provider of K-12 solutions – turns this cycle of
failure into one of success. Working with an international team of esteemed math educators, America’s Choice has evaluated the best practices of top-performing countries to create Summer Mathematics Navigator. Through a proven, systematic approach, this unique program identifies and corrects misconceptions and fills in the gaps in students’ understanding. With these stumbling blocks out of the way, the program quickly builds up students’ knowledge and skills.

Reach your summer math goals

Through its laser focus on the links between math concepts, skills, and problem solving, Summer Mathematics Navigator can achieve measurable gains – even in the short
span of summer school. Designed as targeted intervention, the program allows elementary and secondary schools to address students’ specific needs, making it a flexible fit for any summer session:

• Easy-to-implement modules offer topic-focused, explicit instruction.
• The program works with any math curriculum.
• No computers or extensive training required.
