Using AAA MathBy Ryan Nannetti

Target audienceMainly used in the primary grades (K-5)Can be used in grades 6-8, but not

recommendedNot for use in high schoolExercises used mostly in grades 2, 3, 4, and 5

Instructional ObjectivesTo show kids how to execute basic math

operationsTo develop student’s understanding of the

operationsTo enhance student’s learning through

interactive lectures and examples

Use of AAA MathShow how to perform basic operations such

as addition and subtraction of decimalsReinforces the use of mental math with

multiplying and dividing whole numbersGives a little head start on basic algebra with

equations of 1 and 2 variables

StrengthsGives students the ability to interact with the

concept Helps to ease student’s fears of dealing with

mathGives students a visual example that can be

used to put the operations into use

WeaknessesCan be very distracting to some studentsCan be a little overwhelming to students just

learning the concepts of math (i.e. 1st and 2nd graders)

Can hinder some student’s ability to grasp the core concepts

My thoughtsI think this is a good way to show students

how to utilize the rules of math I think it can be distracting for young kids to

see all those graphics on the screen at once but the benefits outweigh the risks

Overall, this website is a good tool to use in the primary grades and can really help reinforce the core concepts and formulas for math
