Some students just need a little help with homework. That's great and we offer homework help for these students. But other students have greater foundational problems and need more intensive remediation. Due to these problems, they are having trouble passing state mandated exams necessary for graduation.

So in addition to offering homework help, we are also working towards developing assessment and teaching materials to offer reteaching services. These materials will be designed so tutors can easily locate, download, and print out materials necessary teaching materials. This way, tutors have the materials necessary to go back and work on fundamental mathematical concepts as outlined in the Minnesota Department of Education's state standards. Unlike textbooks designed for the classroom, these materials are designed to be taught by volunteers and other nonprofessional math educators during face-to-face one-on-one tutoring sessions.

We have developed an initial set of printables. Also, we have created an underlying "printable creation" engine that allows fast and easy creation of printables without using cumbersome tools like Microsoft Word.

This effort is a work in progress, so please contact us to find out where we are at or if you want access to our current library of printables.

Below are three examples that show how we related our lesson to the MCA-II math exams:
