Our Learners

• After the wonderful technology upgrade, our
  testing scores have gotten better in reading, but
  our students are still struggling with math. We
  as teachers, believe that Millies Math House
  will be great software to encourage our students
  to learn math and for our students scores to be
  higher! Millies Math House has great educational
  content, fun for kids who haven't mastered
  counting and basic number-quantity concepts,
  reasonable sound and graphics. It is an excellent
  introductory math program for pre-schoolers.

Functions of the Software

• Some packages contain more than one activity,
  (which is good for our students) and Millies
  Math House has a number of straight drill
  activities along with some problem-solving and
  game activities. Millies Math House has
  instructional games, which are designed to
  increase motivation!

  math-oriented activities designed for young
  children.

  Big -- where the user learns size relationships
  by helping three different size characters find
  the right size shoes.
