- Algebra’scool and Math’scool -
Wynnewood, PA (April 25, 2008) - SAFARI Montage has signed a deal with BestQuest Teaching Systems to digitally deliver their two innovative and dynamic math teaching systems - Math’scool and Algebra’scool - through the award-winning SAFARI Montage Video-On-Demand Solution. These unique teaching programs provide all of the supporting materials that a teacher needs to prepare students for success in algebra and higher math. Algebra’scool and Math’scool use a multi-sensory approach to teaching mathematics through entertaining animations, lively graphics, concrete examples and real-world explanations.
“BestQuest’s two-fold mission to assist teachers and parents was developed to produce educational curricula in a creative and understandable way, utilizing technology, print materials, and manipulatives, and to engage students in the educational process while attaining the goals of enhanced learning and increased achievement,” said Joe Irby, President of BestQuest Teaching Systems. “The initial product was delivered via state-of-the art DVDs, which was extremely successful. Now, with our new relationship with SAFARI Montage’s digital delivery solution, BestQuest can expand the reach of its revolutionary advancement in mathematics curriculum resources even further.”
