It’s widely understood that early success in math in the primary grades is critical in preparing students for succeeding in algebra in the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. Research tells us that even students who have success in basic math can and do struggle with the abstract nature of algebra. Traditional methods of teaching algebra continue to prove ineffective for many students, and more and more emphasis is being placed on the need for changing the way algebra is taught in U.S. classrooms. Enter Pitsco Education’s hands-on STEM math solutions for Algebra Readiness and Algebra I.
