Profile
NYC's Math Instruction for English Learners
With immigration reshaping American life, educators are challenged with developing practical instructional strategies for students who may have a poor command of English. In New York City, there's a school that is using the power of our differentiated (and multi-lingual) learning solution to make it work for teaching math.

Apangea's March Madness -- And the Winners are...
College hoops weren't the only heart-pounding competition to generate thrills across the country last month. It was also the time for our own annual March Madness competition in which thousands of classrooms vied for top honors and prizes. Points are awarded to individual classrooms based on quality of student work, problems successfully solved and quiz scores. Congratulations to this year's winners: Ms. Sue Peck's class at Liberty Elementary School in Boise, ID. And our thanks to all participating teachers and schools... and hey, there's always next year!

Kids in Idaho Are in Love, Says Principal
We recently expanded into Idaho, and the initial reaction from all concerned has been positive. In fact, one local newspaper deadpans that the new online math program just "adds up." A school official, meanwhile, says that the "principals tell me our kids are loving it. Our teachers are loving it." And we love that!
