=====================================

TMT being a unique and holistic view to basic mathematics provides a exciting and encouraging

  environment for both students and teachers.  With a real-life no-nonsense approach it provides

    a simple introduction to all of the basic topics in elementary mathematics both as concepts

      and computational problems.  Topics such as Algebra, Geometry, Data Analysis, Measurement

        provide self-confidence and self esteem in student’s ability to understand Basic Mathematics.

=====================================

TMT also provides two most critical advantages over traditional basic mathematics courses

  in that it is completely online saving much time and money.  As well, it provides activities

    for teachers to integrated technology into their teaching of basic K-12 classroom mathematics.

      An example of this integration of technology is the provided by web sites on Basic Algebra.

=====================================

At this time, it might be a good idea to view the list of concepts to be covered in Module Five

  as well as the computational study guides, which are all very unique in a holistic design.

   Variety and Success are the critical attributes that TMT has in contrast to Traditional Math.

      “Daring to be different”   and   Taking a Chance”   are Attributes of a Master Teacher.

=====================================

As always, it is Good Teaching  &  Learning Skills to collaborate with  Experts  thus:
