Quia

Quia is an interactive website that helps students test their knowledge with actual tests and quizzes they can take. I will be looking specifically at the math portion of the website for my purposes.



I plan on using Quia within my classroom to help students test their math knowledge. Many times students struggle with the way math lessons are presented, especially within the beginning level math classes that I will be teaching at the elementary level. This website, when used in my classroom will give students yet another opportunity to test what they have learned to be sure that they are doing the proper work to finish the problems. Specifically, I plan on having possibly a time after each lesson is presented to provide students the time to use Quia to test what they've learned, and make sure they understand it.

Quia math addresses efficiency and effectiveness in the three e's. It addresses efficiency by providing me the ability to set my entire class free on thier Quia tests so that I can specifically help any struggling student. It also is efficient by providing students with quick questions and answers to their problems. This program is also effective through its testing of knowledge. Students are better able to understand the lesson because they are doing interactive problems throughout the program.
