MathThink™ Announces Newest Release, Metacognition Math Lab™!

San Francisco, California—December 9, 2004—MathThink has unveiled its newest release, the Metacognition Math Lab, individualized class instruction and online courseware for grades 6-10, designed to teach metacognitive strategies that will increase student achievement for thousands of learners across the nation.

According to Phil Puthumana, Director of Program Management for MathThink LLC, “This release will meet the needs of students excelling in math as well as helping struggling students. What is important is to give students the understanding of their thought process when addressing problems they don’t readily know. This skill is becoming even more evident every day in our rapidly changing information and technology age.”

“Recent studies soundly demonstrate that the highest paying jobs in the United States require strong analytical and creative problem-solving skills,” said Phil Puthumana. “New test scores from the Program for International Student Assessment also show that compared with their peers in Europe, Asia and elsewhere, U.S. 15-year-olds are below average when it comes to applying math skills to real-life tasks. This has led MathThink to build a unique, foundation-building program for all students that will revolutionize the way math is taught and practiced. The key to the Metacognition Math Lab is gaining insight into how a student is reasoning and giving him/her the tools for developing critical thinking skills.”

Metacognition Math Lab™!

The Metacognition Math Lab for 6th to 10th grade students is the first of its kind in the United States. The goals of this lab are to teach students to:
· Develop strategies to increase power thinking
· Find creative solutions
· Explore and investigate patterns, not just memorize formulas
· Learn from classmates in a group environment

The Metacognition Math Lab certified instructors use individualized instruction and computer aided presentations to teach a standardized math curriculum. Students progress at their own pace using MathThink’s innovative testing and teaching techniques, building confidence as they progress from one level to the next using a vast database of practice questions. Classes are held twice a week for one hour at a time.
