AASA and TenMarks Team Up To Combat Summer Learning Slide in Math

AASA, the School Superintendents Association, is collaborating with TenMarks, an Amazon company, to combat the summer learning loss in math by making the TenMarks Summer Math Program available for free to students across the country.

The TenMarks Summer Math Program is personalized to guide students through a curriculum that meets their individual needs. Starting with a diagnostic assessment at their grade and skill level, the program creates an individualized summer curriculum designed to review concepts that a student should refresh from the year past. It then introduces them to concepts for the year ahead. 

As students work through math concepts, they can use embedded hints and video lessons to refresh what they know while learning new concepts. The program provides targeted interventions when it recognizes a need. 

TenMarks will also offer end-of-summer reports for families and districts to help inform curriculum and instruction for the new school year.
