//Paper based versus online instructional components should produce the same outcomes if the content and cognitive activities of the two are identical.//

__**Mission Statement**__
This Wiki was created to provide a place for educators at Howard High School to collaborate on the development and refinement of methods for using mathXLforschool to help with math education in the classroom.

__**Textbook**__
The online instruction uses the following textbook, which has chapters and is organized in a manner nearly identical to that prescribed in the Functions & Trigonometry curriculum:

Ratti: College Algebra and Trigonometry, 2e


 * __Strategies for implementing mathXLforschool__**

1) Homework - provides instant feedback and an expert information system to help students as they practice. Allows instructors to analyze student work and prepare lessons to address any difficulties.

2) Pre Unit Assessment - Before each curriculum unit, a pre-test is available and can be used to a) assess student skill levels at the start of the unit b) build individual student study plans for the unit

3) Post Unit-Assessment - After each curriculum unit, a post-test is available to provide a measure of progress in comparison to the pre-test.

4) Quizzes and Tests - Mid Unit quizzes and periodic tests can be assigned and provide instant feedback for students during the Unit. Teachers can utilize the course management fucntions of mathXLforschool to: a) require students to complete or achieve a certain score on homework or classwork assignments before they are qualified take the quiz/test. b) allow students to take the quiz/test multiple times in a controlled setting.
