The TenMarks Summer Math Program is a national program that provides students with a personalized course tuned to their individual learning needs, based on a summative end-of-year assessment. -TenMarks, an Amazon company, is working hard to keep students engaged over the summer to reverse learning loss in math before heading back to school.
The program is available today and runs through August 31, 2015, and is available FREE to every family in the United States--parents should visit http://summer.tenmarks.com for more information and to sign up. The TenMarks Math for Students app is available for tablets on iOS, Android or Fire OS.
"In 2014, the TenMarks Summer Math Program helped reverse summer learning loss for over 69% of participating students--in just 8 weeks, with one-hour of use per week, these students averaged a double-digit increase in scores from assessments conducted at the beginning and at the end of the program," said Rohit Agarwal, Co-Founder of TenMarks and General Manager of Amazon K-12 Education.
"By providing families with a free math program during the summer, we are able to help students nationwide start the school year with confidence. Staying on top of math--just as you would a summer reading list--and having exposure to the right type of math skills goes a long way in helping students get a successful start to the new school year."
"Our district used the free Summer Math Program that TenMarks provides to help prevent summer learning loss for our students. Our teachers would tell you it did just that--helped to lessen that learning loss and keep students 'fresh' with their math concepts throughout the summer," said Nancy Galusha, elementary math lead, Kettering City Schools. "Plus, our students would tell you it is fun, which is key for keeping them engaged during the summer months."
"Our school in Pacific Palisades suggested TenMarks' complimentary summer math program. My son completed the summer assignments and loved it," said Tim, father of student from Pacific Palisades, CA. "It was a great opportunity for him to learn math on his iPad."
TenMarks believes that students learn best when they are individually engaged, nurtured, and motivated. Its programs are designed for the depth and rigor of the new math standards and every TenMarks lesson helps students build a strong conceptual foundation, improve problem-solving skills, and gain math confidence. With one-click differentiation, TenMarks Math enables teachers to easily differentiate instruction for a student's specific needs, and is designed for self-paced learning.
In the last year, TenMarks has doubled the number of schools using its math programs and seen nearly 200% growth in student activity. TenMarks is now being used by millions of students across over 55,000 schools and over 12,000 districts, with its program used by teachers in over 85% of all districts in the U.S.
