Think Through Math is a web-based program designed to cover math content for children in grades 3 through Algebra 1 (according to Common Core and state standards). Instructions and exercises are delivered via an adaptive tutoring software along with online human tutors. The program is adaptive in that it continually assesses students’ performance to create and adjust learning paths. Pathways continue to adapt, based on student performance in each lesson. The program provides remediation, enrichment, and is an excellent tool to help prepare students for standardized tests.
