Last fall I wrote about Ten Marks' launch of a free program for teachers called Ten Marks for Educators. Ten Marks for Educators provides educators with an online forum in which they can assign mathematics practice problems to students and track their students' progress. If a student gets stuck on a problem he or she can open a tutorial to help him or her through the problem. Ten Marks provides teachers with the option to CC parents on the assignments sent to students. The online curriculum provided by Ten Marks can be aligned to the state standards a teacher chooses.
As a follow-up to the free service that Ten Marks offered teachers this year, they are now offering a summer program for students and their parents. The summer program is designed for students in grades three through twelve. The program provides three assignments a week with video lessons to help students work through the mathematics problems.
The summer program is not free ($39 for three months per student) but the president of Ten Marks, Andrew Joseph, will give away two subscriptions to readers of Free Technology for Teachers who write comments on this post about how they have used Ten Marks in the past or plan to use Ten Marks in the future. On Thursday of this week I'll use a random selector to choose winners. If you win you can give the subscription to a deserving student.
Education Week recently published an article that included a mention of students in Indiana schools and Chicago schools using Ten Marks. In the video below there is a short testimony of 5th grade teacher's experience with Ten Marks.
Just to reiterate, the Ten Marks for Educators program remains free. The summer individual program is a fee-based service but you can win a subscription by commenting on this post.
