Algebra 1 iPad App Benefits

Collaborate and Communicate
Educators have instant access to assessment data for constant tracking and remediation, giving them the opportunity to differentiate instruction.

Deliver Prerequisite Skills
Using the “Are You Ready?” quiz, teachers can test students’ prerequisite skills before introducing them to a new set of concepts. Quiz results are readily available to both student and teacher to track student comprehension and achievement.

Deliver Remediation Activities
Students who have not achieved the appropriate level will be automatically prescribed remediation activities and a set of post-tests.

Provide Security and Peace of Mind
Because student work on HMH Fuse: Algebra 1 is stored and backed up on a secure server, teachers can rest assured that test scores and progress will not be lost if a student accidentally damages or misplaces an iPad. In cases where a student loses an iPad, the student’s data can be transferred to a new device.

Ensure Students Are Organized and On Time
Teachers can encourage students to use the iPad's many organizational functions to gain practical, 21st-century skills. With calendars, email, and reminder functions, using HMH Fuse: Algebra 1 on an iPad encourages broader skill development.
