I CAN Learn® Pre-Algebra and Algebra is a computerized program designed to cover mathematics and problem-solving skills through an interactive software program that teaches pre‑algebra and algebra.
The I CAN Learn® Pre-Algebra software program consists of both lessons (131 Pre-Algebra, 181 Algebra) and instructional videos. Custom curriculum alignment to state, district, or school standards is achieved by selecting appropriate lessons from the I CAN Learn® database. The program can be access online or can be installed on school servers.
Teachers can keep track of student attendance, homework, and test grades through the I CAN Learn® Classroom Explorer Class Management System. The program is designed for one-to-one interactions (student-to-computer; student-to-teacher).
