CompassLearning Announces Odyssey Texas Math

Texas has a new solution to help students who are struggling in math

Austin, TX (Vocus) May 14, 2008

CompassLearning, the leading provider of personalized education technology solutions, announced today the release of Odyssey Texas Math, a mathematics intervention and algebra readiness product for students in the state of Texas. The solution, based on current and confirmed research, concentrates on a subset of algebra readiness skills that are critical for students who are at risk for math failure in grades 4-8.

Odyssey Texas Math allows for a deeper level of diagnostic assessment that pinpoints students' instructional skill gaps. Its sophisticated management system automatically and accurately places each student into a personalized learning path that provides targeted instruction on critical skills and objectives featuring a balance of computational and procedural skills, conceptual understanding, and problem solving. Students work at their own pace in an age-appropriate, interactive environment that is rich with sound and graphics.

Odyssey Texas Math's advanced management and reporting system eliminates the time-consuming task of organizing student data. Students' progress toward grade-level objectives can be tracked weekly or daily, or by a single student, class, or grade level.

"The goal of this intervention product is to accelerate student math performance toward grade-level standards," said CompassLearning President Eric Loeffel. "Ultimately, Odyssey Texas Math will help ensure that Texas students enter high school fully prepared to successfully complete today's rigorous graduation requirements."
