Teaches: math, graphs, charts, diagrams

CTR Review

Teachers are given several options in this program designed to teach kids how to read and interpret charts, graphs and diagrams. Students can simply sit back and watch a video explaining the concepts, they can participate in a directed learning sequence that intersperses questions between video segments, or they can freely explore. The narrated videos and animations do a good job explaining the differences between these visual aids, but the activities are shallow and too few. Basically, these are Q&As regarding various graphs or manipulations of different graphs to show certain numbers. We'd like to see more content and record-keeping for the price.
