EnableMath is the outgrowth of a number of years of development and refinement by its parent company, Enablearning, and rests on the principle that a new technology of learning is critically needed if we are to help the majority of students to succeed in mastering mathematics. Far too many students have been denied their dreams of a higher education and a meaningful career simply because they cannot master mathematics. This technology has been built by Enablearning to support what we believe to be the most important single ingredient to success - the active engagement by the student in the process of learning. This engagement is ensured through the process we call "Productive Practice"™.
Enablearning began offering the EnableMath College program in 2005 to institutions struggling to find an answer to the huge failure rates of entering students in developmental math courses. Research over the past several years has repeatedly shown that the mastery of math assignments through productive practice is more highly correlated to success than any other variable.
As of January 2009 the EnableMath121 program is now being offered to homeschoolers, as an afterschool program and as a preparatory program for students entering college who want to pass the math assessment test. Each student is provided with the full curriculum and EnableMath technology as well as an on-line Personal Learning Manager who works with the student to ensure that mastery is achieved. Finally, the enableMATH360 program will soon be offered to elementary and secondary schools through our partner Curriculum Associates.
