[|**MATH PRACTICE AND LEARNING – FREE FOR TEACHERS**]

[|TenMarks] has launched a math practice and learning program for grades 3 - High School and as of today, it’s FREE for teachers to use in class or for their students to use at home. Teachers choose their own curriculum (mapped to state standards), assign work to students, have it automatically graded immediately, review individual and class performance, and most importantly, take immediate action. [|TenMarks] is super effective and real easy to use – it was designed with the help of math teachers across the country. What’s more - it's FREE for the entire class!

 * The computer can assign work or the teacher can customize
 * Small group instruction can be design to fill the gaps in learning based on the results.
 * While small group scaffolding requires the teacher’s presence this computer based program gives them “at their level” activities too. (increasing engagement, decreasing frustration)
