Algebra Nation to Visit Okaloosa Schools April 1 and 2nd, 2015

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. - March 18, 2015 - PRLog -- On April 1^st and 2^nd,  the OCSD will have a visit from Zach of Algebra Nation (http://www.algebranation.com/).  He will help get our students motivated and ready for their algebra end of course exams.

Algebra Nation is a collaborative initiative aimed at helping students across Florida conquer the Algebra End-of-Course Exam (EOC), a computer-based exam all algebra students need to pass for graduation credit.

Last year, 50% of high school students who took the Algebra EOC failed. In response, the University of Florida partnered with Study Edge, an innovative educational technology company, to create Algebra Nation.

Algebra Nation is a result of ongoing collaboration among teachers, professors, administrators, parents, and students. Algebra Nation provides a platform for everyone to share his or her best ideas and practices.

We are very excited by this visit and we have events scheduled as detailed below.   Please let me know any questions or how we can assist.  Ms. Stephanie Thetford, the OCSD District Math Instructional Coach, is coordinating this event.
