About Pilot Math

How does Pilot Math work?

Pilot Math makes learning math fun and interactive. Built for classrooms with or without technology and Internet access, Pilot Math is easy to integrate into any setting and accommodates students with a variety of skill levels.

Resource Blended with Text and Multimedia

Pilot Math is a complete and rich multimedia, multimodal learning program designed to directly address classroom Math curriculum. Using texts, workbooks and computer access, students can learn, study and quiz themselves in a fun, interactive environment at school, at the library or at home. Pilot Math texts and workbooks direct students to use hundreds of online or USB/DVD provided media resources creating a current and exciting approach to learning math.

In the classroom students and teachers have print textbooks, workbooks and the teacher’s guide. At home, at the library or in the computer lab students can access the e-textbook, e-workbook, math animations, instructional activities, math-embedded games, concept capsules, notepad tutors and assessments online 24 hours a day. Teachers also have access to the online media and content that they can use at their option on SmartBoards or with a projector and screen.

Homework Friendly

Students are no longer stuck when they have left their text or workbook at school. With Pilot Math students can access an online version of their textbook and workbook 24 hours a day.

Will Pilot Math work with the media, or lack of it, in my classroom?

Pilot Math is a fully contained print resource with supplementary online resources that augment and enhance the classroom learning experience. Teachers can choose not to use the multimedia components and still cover the entire curriculum.

Below are some scenarios that help explain how you can easily integrate Pilot Math into your classroom:

Classroom – no media

For teachers who don’t have media access in the classroom:

Use the traditional print text and workbook in the classroom
Students can access media at home or in a computer lab or library
Teachers can supply group time in class for students to share their media experiences such as online research or assessment results

Classroom – some media

For a classroom that only has a few computers or has an instruction station with a projector:

Teachers can teach as above (see "no media" scenario) and/or project some Pilot Math learning media as appropriate
Send students alone or in small groups to work with media (for examples, those struggling with fractions can access online "fractions" Concept Capsules, Notepad Tutor Interactive Games or Videos)
Students finished with their work can play a math embedded game
Students interested in the graphing calculator can do the concept capsule on graphing calculators and be provided with a graphing calculator to complete a project
Students who learn better by viewing can custom search hundreds of math videos provided by Pilot Math

Classroom – media rich

For classrooms that have a computer for every one or two students or a Smart Board.

Teachers can teach as above (see “some media” scenario)
Plan teacher-designed lessons around the media (for example: game days, student groups presenting concept capsules on the Smart Board, student run review sessions, media rich lectures and classroom activities)
