With this program the students receive an initial lesson, activities, a quiz, and remediation if necessary, and a follow up quiz. The entire learning experience is generated by the program through the computer. If they answer correct, the door opens, and you need four correct answers to move through the door.

What do you find the most enjoyable about using the computer to learn math? [Student 1 speaking]

Class work and the fractions, when like if we don’t get it we usually click on help and they give us guesses to try to tell us how to go on with the thing, and then we eventually get it, and we eventually get the question right.

Grade Level: 3-5

Note: The TIM is about teaching, not technology. The placement of a lesson on the TIM is based entirely on the teaching practices demonstrated in the lesson and not on the specific technology employed. Effective pedagogy is our concern, not whether the tech involved is the latest, greatest, or most expensive. In fact, most of the sample videos were recorded some time ago as part of the original development of the Technology Integration Matrix. As you view these videos, focus on the teaching practices. When using the TIM-O to observe a lesson, remember that you can display the detailed indicators by clicking the tab on the right if you are completing a Matrix-based observation or are reviewing the TIM profile of a question-based lesson. The TIM Tools Admin Guide contains additional suggestions for observing a lesson and developing a TIM profile.
