Incorporating an intuitive design, the eSuite also provides seamless integration and interconnectivity between each application by eliminating multiple URLs, usernames, and passwords. In addition to interconnectivity, all of the Everyday Mathematics online eSuite applications are compatible with electronic white boards.
"Technology is a key driver of the ever-changing classroom. At Wright Group, technology is not simply the digitization of a static print product. Our technology products enhance learning for both teachers and students," said
Seamless Integration Between Teacher and Student Resources
The eSuite is a set of web-based applications that are accessible from any computer connected to the Internet. This allows teachers to plan upcoming lessons anywhere and without having to bring their Teacher's Lesson Guide with them. The eSuite allows ePlanner users to link directly to EM Games and pages in the Interactive Student Reference Book. Access to the Assessment Management System (AMS) is also just one click away.
ePlanner
The Everyday Mathematics ePlanner, launched in
In addition to making yearly, monthly, and daily lesson plans, the ePlanner allows teachers to print reproducible resources such as Math Masters, Math Messages, Assessment Masters, and Family Letters directly from their computer. Teachers can also view non-reproducible pages from the Teacher's Lesson Guide, Student Journals, as well as Skills Link, which provides supplemental practice for students.
Assessment Management System (AMS)
New to the Third Edition of Everyday Mathematics, the AMS builds a picture of student and class performance by tracking progress toward Grade-Level Goals over time. Based on assessment data, teachers can link to the Differentiation Handbook and assign remedial or enrichment activities.
EM Games
Games are essential to the pedagogy of Everyday Mathematics because they provide a fun way for students to practice basic skills. EM Games are animated, interactive, electronic versions of the board games created by the author team. Students play the games independently against the computer, and receive accurate feedback on mathematical concepts. With the online version, students have unlimited access to the EM Games from home and school, and teachers can monitor student progress through detailed real-time reports on students' skill success in each game.
Interactive Versions of My Reference Book and Student Reference Book
The Interactive My Reference Book (Grades 1 and 2) and Interactive Student Reference Book (Grades 3-6) provide students with English and Spanish content line-by-line to assist struggling readers and English-language learners. "Try Me" interactive tools allow students to experiment with concepts and observe the results. Students can explore concepts such as measuring angles or modifying geometric shapes. "Show Me" animations give students step-by-step explanations for different concepts and processes. These interactive reference books are available online for use at school or at home.
Family Letters
Family Letters are the perfect tool to strengthen the connection between teachers and families. Families receive one letter per unit with information about concepts in upcoming lessons. Pre-K through Grade 5 Family Letters are now offered on Everyday Mathematics online. The letters are available in nine of the most prevalent languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, Haitian Creole, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Urdu.
