Register for a Free 15-Day Trial of ISM Course 3

ISM Course 3 is a technology based solution for the teaching and learning of Basic Algebra.

The most profound results will be gained by those students and teachers that are working in a
1 to 1 computing environment.

The course is aligned to the NCTM math standards as they relate to Algebra 1.

We want to help students learn important mathematical skills and concepts, in an inquisitive, exploratory, interactive environment.

ISM Features:

Interactive Tools
Built-in to every lesson (Graphing Calculator, Glossary & more)

Interactive Applets
Randomly generated or student-defined problems

Assessment
Written by Anne Collins, editor of the 2006 NCTM series of publications on Assessment


We've had over 50 pilot schools use ISM. When asked what they liked about ISM, here's what students had to say:

"I liked all of the interactive applets. They allow me to understand the concept better."

"I liked the tree diagrams, and I liked how it gave you examples for the problems."

"I liked the different examples on how to keep your work organized."

"It was challenging. Also it was fun."

"I liked how it gave you questions and it told you if you answered them right or wrong."

"The vocabulary was highlighted and easy to copy down."

"Yes, I like the variety of different things you can do in each lesson."

  • Assessment:

    ISM Assessment has been designed to be used in a formative and summative manner. Each unit has a Pretest, Checkups, Quizzes and a Posttest.

  • Interactive Tools & Applets:

    Tools such as a graphing calculator and inter-linked glossary, are always availabed to students.

    Applets have a 'build your own problem' feature, as well as random generated problems. All applets have instructions and built-in help files.


  • Teacher's Notes:

    In the Teacher's Edition of ISM, Teacher's Notes and Solutions have been provided.

    Teacher's Notes include helpful hints and suggested activities provided by our authors.



  • Quiz Questions & Exercises:

    Self-check questions appear throughout ISM to help the student guage their progress.

    Exercises and More Practice questions are provided at the end of each lesson.


  • Keywords & Linked Glossary Terms:


    Math vocabulary terms are highlighted throughout each lesson. Clicking on a term opens the glossary with its definition.
