New Online Math Program Lets Students Compete and Learn With Kids
Around the Globe DALLAS, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Voyager Expanded
Learning(R) announced today the launch of VmathLive(TM), the new
online math resource in which students compete against other
students in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, England,
Hong Kong and Singapore, while practicing math skills and preparing
for high-stakes tests. VmathLive provides a blended solution of
print and technology that extends the time students spend learning
and practicing essential math skills. The interactive environment
motivates and engages math students, reinforces the same concepts
and skills taught in core math programs and provides practice in a
high-stakes test format. "Children are literally on the edge of
their seats while using VmathLive. It is wonderful to see them so
excited about math," says Ron Klausner, president of ProQuest
Education and Voyager Expanded Learning. The topics and content in
VmathLive are aligned to Voyager's math intervention system,
Vmath(R), and includes several state-specific courses aligned to
high-stakes assessments. VmathLive is the American version of the
online math program known as Mathletics(R), created by Australian
e-learning company 3P Learning. Current Vmath classrooms will have
free access to VmathLive during the rest of the 2006-2007 school
year. VmathLive is also available as a stand- alone program. As
with all Voyager programs, administrators and teachers using Vmath
and VmathLive will be able to access Voyager's Professional Online
Resource Tools (VPORT(TM)) and view student progress data at any
time during the school year. About Voyager Expanded Learning
