The NROC Projecta non-profit effort

sustained by institutional members of the NROC Network

Everyone’s learning!

Developmental Math – An Open Program

Project Goal: Increase the number of financially-disadvantaged students prepared with math skills for college or career. Create an efficient path to mastery.

Audience: Adults ages 16-80 (average age = 28) Students who have failed math at least once High School Remediation

Funding: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Sustained by: Institutional Members of the NROC Network

Modules: Arithmetic Beginning Algebra Intermediate Algebra Topics in Geometry, Statistics, and Trigonometry

Objectives: Accelerate the path through remediation

Leverage the power of digital media

Offer multiple modes of instruction

Support multiple curricular standards

Allow for flexible course configurations

Built on 350 explicit learning objectives to allow fine-grained assessment

At the recent NROC Member Meeting, NROC members presented Ignites on a variety of topics including NROC Math Use Cases.

IGNITES are meant to “ignite” the audience – generate awareness…stimulate thought and action on the subjects presented!

IGNITES are 5-minute presentations accompanied by 20 slides that automatically advance every 15 seconds.

Jacksonville State University in Alabama Flipped Classroom model for Basic Algebra

Skills class.

Students watch the NROC Presentation videos and Worked Examples on their own time, take notes and turn them in for 5% of their total grade.

During class, student work paper and pencil problems related to concepts watched in videos.

Students work in collaborative groups of equal skill level; 40% of their grade is based on work completed in these groups

Students spend class time on math fluency and timed skills practices; Graduate Psychology students offer “over the shoulder” assistance

Results of pilot to date: students who most often interacted with the NROC resources had higher final averages in the course

Grand River Preparatory HS in Michigan

Remedial Math and Credit Recovery for Secondary School students

Small class size and one-to-one laptop initiative allows for individual pace and more one-on-one instruction

NROC Algebra also used as credit recovery course

NROC Developmental Math used as supplement to class instruction in Math Support course

Results of pilot to date: Algebra pilot students’ success rate jumped from 38% to 62%; similar expectations for Developmental Math

Open High School of Utah

Adapted NROC Math Resources for the Common Core

Focus on problem solving and making connections between concepts as outlined by the Common Core

Reworked NROC Algebra and Developmental Math program to fit into OHSU’s new Math I, II and part of III

Use NROC Team Projects to build conceptual understanding and teach students teamwork, communication and analytical skills stressed in the Common Core

Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana

Contextualizing NROC Developmental Math for Career and Technical Program students

Students take pre-test to determine gaps in math mastery; each student assigned specific NROC unit and works independently in computer lab with instructor assistance

Students are given specific examples of how they would use math concepts in their career

Strong collaboration with technical instructor to create contextualized math problems
