MobyMax Launches New Science Curriculum
MobyMax
has introduced a new science curriculum designed to
help students develop their cognitive skills.
Using its existing K-8 curriculum that MobyMax
describes as a
personalized learning path for each student as a foundation, the new
Cognitive
Skills Curriculum employs more than 20,000 manipulatives meant to deepen
students' mastery of science concepts.
"Science is the core subject for learning cognitive
skills,"
said Moby Co-founder Wade Willett in a prepared statement. "Learning science by using analogies
or
trying to figure out the solution with logic is very effective. But that is only half the story. Our Touch Curriculum technology is the engine that makes science truly engaging and captivating."
He said that exploring science concepts with
cognitive skills
manipulatives is a benefit to either personalized learning or the
blended
classroom.
"Cognitive Skills Science is a great addition that
will help
teachers differentiate instruction," said Elizabeth Was, a teacher at Mark Fine
Elementary School in Las Vegas, "as well as assess students'
understanding of
key concepts."
