Accurate Learning Systems Corporation has introduced the availability of individual home subscriptions for MathScore.com, the Internet-based adaptive mathematics practice environment already proven to improve math skills in schools.

Now for the first time, students in second through eighth grades who don't use MathScore.com in school can practice math over the Internet at a pace that keeps them motivated. MathScore is the only math practice environment that adapts to the student, is available with any Internet connection and can provide a never-ending supply of math problems. MathScore.com subscriptions are available today for $19.95/month, directly from www.mathscore.com.

"Statistically proven, using MathScore improves math proficiency," said Steven Yang, founder and CEO of Accurate Learning Systems Corporation. "We're excited to make MathScore available to any parent so they can supplement their child's math education from the convenience of home with a system that's proven effective. Students respond to it much like a game. Parents can monitor progress at a glance or in detail. MathScore provides a never-ending supply of math problems, custom tailored for each student, available with any Internet connection."

Previously available only through schools, MathScore.com usage results in proven effectiveness. Students at all proficiency levels participated in a pilot program that showed impressive improvement on the 2005 California Department of Education Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) test. During the pilot, the STAR test results demonstrated an average raw score increase of 39 points, outperforming the control group by 49%. The program showed the increase in scores at all proficiency levels, with some students achieving perfect scores.

"My students find that MathScore is easy to use, and I find it is a definite contributor toward helping them understand the concepts they learn in regular math instruction," explained Janette Leath, 5th grade teacher, Bishop Elementary, Sunnyvale, CA. "I have even heard comments such as 'Math is fun!' from several students after they had finished a session and thoroughly understood a particular concept."

"MathScore is designed as a practice environment that caters to the full spectrum of student talent, ranging from remedial students through the most advanced. We've seen many students advance beyond grade level, and many remedial students catch up," Yang continued.

MathScore is an Internet-based, measurable, adaptive mathematics practice environment for grades 2-8 that enables self-paced learning. MathScore's patent-pending math program provides a math practice environment with instantaneous feedback and attainable goals that motivate students to become better at math. Students can practice math in the school lab or from home via the Internet. Teachers and parents can consult system-provided feedback for immediate indication of improvement, or insufficient improvement, and course correct as necessary.
