HMH Fuse: Algebra 1, Common Core Edition

WHAT:
HMH Fuse Algebra 1 Common Core Edition gives every student a personalized learning experience using video tutorials, MathMotion step-by-step examples, homework help, quizzes, tips, hints, and many other integrated features to teach, review, and assess all concepts.

Other features include the ability for students to show their scratch pad work for individual questions on the assessments, student response system (clickers), and Graph It! examples permits students to explore the example conceptually.

Students will benefit from an all-in-one app with built-in tools including Algebra Tiles, Linear Explorer, Quadratic Explorer, a graphing calculator, text and audio note-taking, scratchpad, and a student response system for instant learner feedback. For institutional users, teachers can access all assessment results in an on-line Teacher Resource Center and prescribe remediation or intervention as needed.

WHY:
Following a year-long FUSE pilot at Amelia Earhart School in Riverside California, the results are in. Comparing student performance, over 78% of students using HMH Fuse scored Proficient or Advanced on the state test, compared to only 59% of their fellow students at Earhart – a difference of 19% in favor of students using the HMH Fuse app.
