Press Release MATHSCORE.COM SCORES HIGH IN STANDARDIZED TESTS -- Measurable Improvement in Math Skills Shows the Effectiveness of MathScore Internet-based Adaptive Mathematics Practice Environment -- PALO ALTO, Calif., August 31, 2005 -- Accurate Learning System Corporation today released the results of its MathScore.com pilot program, which show impressive improvement on the 2005 California Department of Education Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) test. The STAR test results demonstrated an average raw score increase of 39 points, outperforming the control group by 49%. The median students saw a raw score increase of 41.5 points outperforming the control group by 80%. In addition, MathScore took a classroom from 34% proficient as 4th graders, to 53% proficient as 5th graders, an impressive 19% gain. These results are from a pilot program at Bishop Elementary in Sunnyvale, California, where one class used MathScore and two other classes of the same grade levels were the control group. "MathScore's mission is to improve the math education of millions of students by providing a superior learning environment compared to existing solutions," said Steven Yang, founder and CEO of Active Learning Systems Corporation. "The STAR test is official, independent proof that MathScore usage effectively improves math learning. It is gratifying to see that even in the first year of use we're already beginning to achieve the MathScore mission." "My students find that MathScore is easy to use, and I find it is a definite contributor toward helping them understand the concepts they learn in regular math instruction," explained Janette Leath, 5th grade teacher, Bishop Elementary, Sunnyvale, CA. "I have even heard comments such as 'Math is fun!' from several students after they had finished a session and thoroughly understood a particular concept." "In accordance with No Child Left Behind, MathScore incorporates research-backed learning principles," explained John Cradler, President of Educational Support Systems. "Continuous feedback and built-in assessment tools enable students to learn efficiently, parents to remain involved with their children and teachers to easily and cost-effectively work with all of their students. MathScore works." "The MathScore pilot program was a resounding success," continued Yang. "As we spent time with the numbers we noticed several interesting trends. For example, in looking at all five achievement levels, the students demonstrated a clear correlation that showed the more MathScore was used, the greater the increase in test score and improvement by that student. It's absolutely thrilling to have independent, standardized tests tell us we're on the right track." Beginning in 1997, California began putting into place a comprehensive standards-based educational system for all students. The STAR test validates student performance with respect to California state standards, and the results are used to track progress with respect to No Child Left Behind. Students attain one of five levels of performance on the California Standards Tests (CSTs) for each subject tested: advanced, proficient, basic, below basic, and far below basic. The State Board of Education has established the proficient level as the desired achievement goal for all students. The pilot project class using MathScore showed the number of students to achieve the proficient level and above increased by a dramatic 19% in one year of use. MathScore is an Internet-based, measurable, adaptive mathematics practice environment for grades 2-8 that enables self-paced learning. MathScore's patent-pending math program is currently offered to teachers, providing a math practice environment with instantaneous feedback and attainable goals that motivate students to become better at math.
