Why Multimedia/Hypermedia and Distance Learning?
Research has shown that these are key factors on why we should integrate multimedia/hypermedia and distance learning into our classroom instruction. This will be more vital with the current state that we are in with COVID.

Data Driven Resources and real time feedback.
Research has shown that when using math virtually such as with manipulatives it has been advantageous for students.
Improves teacher and learning for the students
Purpose
The purpose of this presentation is to introduce web-based and multi-media programs that research has shown will increase student achievement in mathematics.
The program First in Math will increase student proficiency and learning gains.
The implementation of First of Math since 2017 has contributed to increases to learning gains.

What they are saying about First in Math………
First in Math is designed with focus, coherence and rigor, our 200+ self-paced online math games are great for individualized instruction in addition through algebra.
According to the PA and the US Department of Education, The School District of Philadelphia experienced an outstanding 37.4 percentage-point increase in math scores since implementing the program in 2003.
Data for the 2004-2005 school year again points to steady improvement, with many schools scoring double-digit increases in math proficiency. In addition, analysis of the data suggests that schools with high levels of participation in the First In Math® program posted higher increases in math proficiency.
