New mathematics tools from ORIGO Education bring interactive teaching into the classroom

ORIGO Education announces release of Flare, new web-based mathematics tools, designed to make teaching easier, more dynamic and effective. The new Flare products are the ultimate in interactive mathematics education.

2010-12-04
ST. CHARLES, MO, December 04, 2010 (Press-News.org) Today, mathematics-publishing company, ORIGO Education (www.origoeducation.com) announced new additions to their online software suite, Flare. The new tools are built to teach students place value, equivalence and fractions. Flare is a flexible easy-to-use resource that integrates seamlessly with interactive whiteboards. Teaching mathematics using interactive technologies is now easier and more effective than ever before.

The four new Flare tools - Fractions (length), Fractions (area), Place Value and Pan Balance - advance teaching by helping demonstrate concepts through pictorial models. These concepts are often difficult to visualize through traditional teaching methods. Flare gives teachers the ability to convey complex ideas in a way that students can understand.

• Prepare and save activity files ahead of time
• Save and print a record of students' work
• Print copies of blackline masters for students
• Quickly prepare number lines and spinners
• Write, draw, and color with the built-in drawing functions

Flare is much more than software. It is a flexible, easy-to-use and growing library of resources. This online collection of mathematics teaching tools is designed for use with interactive whiteboards, wireless tablets, data projectors, and computers. Covering the major content areas, Flare delivers the optimal whole-class or small-group teaching and learning experience for Grades Pre K to 7.

Yearly subscriptions can be purchased for as little as $4 a month. ORIGO is also offering a free 14-day trial of Flare, sign up at http://www.origoeducation.com/slate.
