TMT being a unique and holistic 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 in mathematics and self esteem in their ability to master a critical subject.

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

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 mathematics.

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

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

Overview of Statistical Charts               Simple Probability-A

Create Statistical Charts                       Simple Probability-B

Ancient  Numeral  Systems                  National Curriculum

Some Heavy Duty Statistics                  Introduction to Stats-A

More Heavy Duty Statistics                  Introduction to Stats-B

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

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

  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:
