Students Discover Math
IntelliMathics 3 is an
award-winning mathematics authoring program that lets students explore the
magic of math and how it integrates into everyday life. Activities using
virtual manipulatives help students see mathematical relationships never
fully understood before. With IntelliMathics 3, students will be able
to test hypotheses and independently check their work.
Classroom Applications
IntelliMathics 3 is an exceptional tool for manipulating onscreen
attribute blocks, tangrams, base ten blocks, geoboards, or fraction pieces.
It's also a fabulous environment for manipulating any type of graphic, from
bugs to balloons. IntelliMathics 3 lets you add sorting bins,
counting boxes, and Venn Hoops to your activities and gives verbal and
written feedback to students as they make their selections.
Create Your Own Assignments
Start with the 50-plus predesigned
activities ready for immediate classroom use. Teachers can also customize
manipulative-based activities. For example, you can change graphics or write
new instructions. You can add an instruction box to your activity or a text
box for students answers or notes. Additional templates can be used by
teachers and students to copy, extend, and create new activities as well.

Answer-Tracking and Student Assessment
With IntelliMathics 3, you can track students' activity responses
and quiz answers, and then record, report, and print student records.
IntelliMathics 3 tracks each student's performance in his or her own
private portfolio, records student responses, compares them to expected
answers, and makes their results available in both detailed and summary
reports. |

Universal Access
The concept of Universal Design—that all students, regardless of physical
and learning differences, have access to our products—has been a
long-standing philosophy that guides IntelliTools' software and hardware
innovations. Our programming environments enable our software to feature
speech output, single-switch scanning, and automatic sending of IntelliKeys
overlays in addition to access by a standard keyboard, mouse or
touch-screen. Our products also meet the accessibility requirements of
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Testimonials
"IntelliMathics - WOW! It makes math visible! So many children
continue to need visual support to understand math concepts. Too often,
manipulatives are taken away after the early primary grades, while for
others, they do not have the physical abilities to manipulate these objects.
This tool allows them to manipulate objects they cannot hold. Don't think
that IntelliMathics is just a tool for teaching math. I use it for
sequencing activities, community-based instruction and much more. This
math-phobic teacher is a math lover now." Kathie Maltby, Irvine, CA
