The NCLB Act requires that:
  1. States must implement accountability systems.
  2. Students in grades 3-8 must be tested yearly to achieve
      Adequate Yearly Progress.

How MathAmigo supports NCLB:
  1. The formative assessment system spots problems early and
      gives you time to take remedial action.
  2. The planning system allows you to implement changes with
      ease and speed.
  3. The extensive reporting systems provide you with evidence on a
      macro and micro level:
      a. For individuals
      b. For groups
      c. At an instant in time.
      d. Across time
  4. The reporting system provides you with statistics of
      achievement and improvement.

The NCLB Act requires that:
States and school districts have the flexibility to use up to 50% of federal funds in any programs that assist students to achieving Adequate Yearly Progress. These grants encompass programs involving:
  1. Educational Technology
  2. Innovation
  3. Teacher Quality

MathAmigo is eligible for grants because:
  1. MathAmigo is an educational technology system.
  2. MathAmigo is a unique innovative system.

The NCLB Act requires that:
Low performing schools must offer another public school choice and supplemental services to ensure that students attain the Adequate Yearly Progress.

MathAmigo system's flexibility makes it ideal for providing supplemental help:
  1. The formative assessment system and planning systems make
      it easy for you to spot problems and create supplemental
      programs of study.
  2. The portable technology makes it easy to organise
      and implement:
      a. Individual tutoring.
      b. After school programs.
      c. Homework.
      d. Summer schools.
  3. The extensive reporting system makes it easy for you to provide
      parents with evidence of student performance.

The NCLB Act requires that:
Educators use research based teaching methods.
Educators use programs backed with evidence.

MathAmigo uses tried and tested activities. Some, like those used by Alcion of York to teach the sons of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne in 870AD, are among the oldest known to the teaching profession. By marrying these to the advantages of portable technology, Valiant has created a powerful teaching system.
MathAmigo uses the principles and research:
  1. Outlined in "How People Learn" Published by The Committee
      on Developments in the Science of Learning with materials from
      the Committee on Learning Research and Educational Practice
  2. From the Study of ILS (Integrated Learning Systems - e.g.
      Success Maker) produced in England.
      Published by BECTa (1998) The UK ILS Evaluations Final
      Report

The NCLB Act requires that:
Educators promote the increased use of technology and technology planning throughout all programs and training functions administered by the Department of Education.

The MathAmigo system:
  1. Makes the use of technology to support the daily math lesson a
      practical reality.
