Tell Me About Accelerated Math

• Accelerated Math includes libraries for each
  grade level. The program automatically prints
  individual practices for the child based on the
  skills they are currently working one. Children
  work practices covering several objectives at one
  time until they score at least 80 on a practice.
• After achieving 80 or more on a practice, the
  children are ready for a test.
• The teacher prints tests for children to are
  ready to test. When the child scores 80 or
  better on test objectives, that objective is
  considered mastered.

  questions the program will not generate any more
  questions on this objective for this student.
