Works with you
Conceptua Math provides interactive math visuals for lessons. These are created to assist teachers in their mathematics instruction in the classroom. there are 15 free tools to be used, and more if you choose to pay. It is designed to be used for instruction on fractions. There are guides that go with the visuals to help the teacher ask appropriate prompts and guide students learning. There is the opener, then the guided lesson (8-15 minutes long), then the lesson closer. If a student is falling behind in the learning during the guided learning segment, the teacher can refer the students learning to a differentiation intervention. The program was designed to help all teachers be good math teachers, even if they find math to be intimidating. The site is easy to navigate, however I am interested in the actual costs of the full program. There is an option to request a quote, but you have to be a teacher or administrator at a school, as well as having many variables that effect the cost. Seems to be simple enough and would potentially be worth the investment. I would definitely want to test run the free aspects of the program first.
