TERRACE BAY— Superior North Catholic District School Board announced they were extending its Explore Learning subscription to Include FRAX Math to Support Learning Fractions.
Their Math Team was excited to announce that the extension to this program will be an online Math program to include FRAX Math; an adaptive and game-based program designed to help students learn fractions in a fun and engaging galaxy themed environment. Research-based instruction methods help students understand that fractions are numbers too by personalizing instruction for each student's needs. To learn more about this visit: www.fraxmath.com/
The Board indicated that: “Previous to the FRAX Math subscription, Superior North Catholic schools had and continue to have access to Reflex Math; a fact fluency program for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Reflex Math has been a powerful tool in supporting mental math strategies and mastery of fundamental math concepts and skills in operations. Similar to Reflex Math, FRAX Math will be available to all educators to support differentiated instruction for students of all ages and abilities”.
The board’s math team would like to thank the eight classrooms who participated in their three month FRAX Math pilot project. They expressed that, “Their time and dedication to the pilot, as well as your overwhelming positive feedback was a huge part of making this program available to all SNCDSB educators and students”.
“My students loved it and were very excited to use it during class time and after class time. They would talk about their progress on FRAX even after the math block.” remarked one of their teachers. “Students loved using FRAX. They were very engaged. Their understanding of fractions has increased tremendously since using the program.” After this encouraging feedback the math team was confident that a full board subscription was a must.
