Tuggerah Lakes Secondary College – Tumbi Umbi Campus High School would like to announce a fabulous new initiative in mathematics teaching programs.
We have registered all of our students to use the teaching/learning resource at mathsonline.com.au. You may have seen the recent TV advertisements by sponsors McDonalds Australia. It is through this sponsorship that Mathsonline, which previously cost its many thousands of satisfied clients $40 per month, is now free to our students!
Some of the features that this program includes:
- Full lessons for each concept with a voice over and numerous examples of varying difficulty. Every lesson has a pause and rewind facility to help students grasp concepts at their own pace.
- Every lesson has an accompanying printable summary and worksheet to consolidate the concept, with full worked solutions also provided.
- A student's ongoing use and progress in the program is stored for the student and their teacher to see at any time.
- The program can be accessed from any internet ready site, not just at school.
- The entire Year 7 to 12 program is available to every student, not just their particular year group or course.
- Parents may register to get weekly updates on their child¿ program use and progress, by clicking on the 'Parents Area' tab within their child's account.
- Many more features will also be made available online over the coming months.
Given that the program covers most of the concepts that we teach, and as good as this resource is, we make it clear that this program was never intended by its creators to replace the wonderful work that our Mathematics teachers do. This program is best used as a support/supplement to the classroom teaching/learning experience.
All students will be issued with their own logins and passwords over the next few days by their Maths teacher. Students are encouraged to use this resource as directed by their own teacher.
