If you do not have account information, please contact your school for more information. *** A SIMPLE SOLUTION TO A DIFFICULT PROBLEM Many students struggle with math because they rely on arbitrary memorization techniques to answer specific questions. With this approach, students do not gain a substantive understanding of fundamentals and simply cannot adjust to more sophisticated problem solving. With Symphony Math®, these problems are resolved. Symphony Math® helps students understand mathematics at a conceptual level. Instead of being overwhelmed by numbers, students move at their own speed and learn how math works. Through every stage of Symphony Math®, students gain a strong foundation in underlying principles and become better equipped to take on basic and advanced subjects. Going far beyond rote math drills and practice tests, this special teaching solution illuminates the core of learning and produces confident, more capable students. BUILT IN ASSESSMENT Students take a Fall, Winter, and Spring assessment that quickly identifies at-risk students and helps track growth. A ROBUST INTERVENTION THAT SUPPORTS STUDENTS WHO NEED HELP IN MATH The best practices in developmental psychology and cognitive science are the cornerstones of Symphony Math®. Our uniquely designed delivery methods ensure that students – regardless of learning styles or knowledge levels – fully grasp fundamental mathematical ideas, even for difficult-to-explain and abstract concepts. The result is a solid foundation for acquiring higher math skills, as well as a positive learning experience.
