Information covering important topics for today's educators and parents. Tenth Planet explores math. The series is designed to help students develop spatial sense and geometric thinking and to form a firm foundation for higher level math. This CD-ROM introduces every investigation with a brief animated segment in which the basic ideas of the following investigations are presented. For instance, in one Beyond activity, students must make a path between two objects using elbow pieces and straight pieces of track.
Students navigate the CD-ROM by clicking on icons to get from one investigation to the next.
A student journal allows the students to take a snapshot of their work and to record their thoughts or reflections about each task. The program comes with a teacher's management tool that allows teachers to monitor individual student progress. The teacher's guide provides technical information, assessment activities, and multimedia as well as hands-on activities. The teacher's guide also includes blackline masters and family letters to be used to introduce parents to the Tenth Planet series. ENC does NOT distribute this resource.
