eTAP.org provides algebra instruction

LAGUNA BEACH, CA–September 18, 2007–eTAP announces the use of www.etap.org for CBS bilingual education in Honduras. http://www.cofradiaschool.com/CBSetap.html

Ben Udy, Project Director, http://www.cofradiaschool.com/ben.htm said “Having not been quite as successful as needed on our recruiting drive this year, I needed (as of today) to fill the position of teacher for a combined 7, 8, 9 grade 20 student maths classes. I decided to start with Algebra and couldn't connect to eTAP last night so the first day was a complete ad lib and gave me an almost terrifying idea of the challenge I have before me.

I am so relieved that I was able to connect to eTAP this evening because in about 30 minutes I found and printed out enough material to both assess all the students individually and be able to take each and every one of them on a learning adventure in Algebra. With the help of www.etap.org, I can significantly raise their individual levels of both understanding and skill in this very important area of mathematics. I will be able to give each of them a challenge regardless of their current understanding of Algebra and be able to hand a complete individual assessment package over to the next maths teacher or the next volunteer who arrives.

One of the things that impresses me most about the 75 page "Multi-grade Algebra teachers handbook" that I found on eTAP is the variety of sources the information available at www.etap.org. Making eTAP much more functional as a tool for reaching children of different learning styles, levels and abilities than any single Algebra text book, I have ever seen. I don't know how many traditional text books I would have needed, to at least scan, to find the range of information and different ways of approaching the subject. I am completely convinced that it would have taken days instead of minutes. I would definitely not be able to walk into class tomorrow with full plan and something for everyone to work on, from students who stare blankly at X-3=7 to students who are fully ready for solving complex word problems in their second language using Algebra. WOW and thank you once again”
