Testimonials

It's harder to work through the problem than being given the answer. But when I was looking at my required college curriculum, I realized that this work helped me prepare better for college. You understand the methods for solving the problem, instead of a teacher handing you the formula. You understand why it works that way.

Senior, (4th year of CPM)

We are already seeing the benefits of the program (after 3 years). Students seem to be better prepared for higher level math courses and stronger results are showing up on various standardized tests.

Peter, Director of Curriculum and Instruction

My daughter has always struggled with mathematics. But with CPM she began to like math and really understands what she is learning. All of the hands-on learning tools, like the Algebra tiles, have really helped her to finally succeed in math class.

Parent of CPM Student

One of the main things I've heard from the teachers is that the structure of the lessons gives them the ability to quickly identify how individuals, small groups and the entire class are doing during a lesson. As a result the teachers are able to interact with students or facilitate activities to provide immediate responses. Students are less likely to fall through the cracks and students continue to progress at a productive pace.

Travis, Math Coordinator

Students are organized into study teams and work on problem-based applications, team strategies and real-world applications. Many algebra teachers feel reenergized and are having more fun teaching math with the CPM approach. Algebra classes focus on both basic skills and problem solving strategies that are used to help students relate to and understand the concepts behind the problems. Our students are being taught Algebra in a more rigorous and relevant manner. It's really about discovering the math, rather than being told the math.

How much do these lessons cost?

Purplemath's lessons cost nothing! These lessons are free, are intended for students (rather than for instructors), and are interlinked to help you find related material. There is a "Search" box on every page to help you find whatever math content you're looking for — without encountering ads masquerading as search results. Whether you're in middle school, high school, college, or university, these free algebra lessons can help you out!

How can I use Purplemath's lessons?

Purplemath's math lessons can be used in many ways:

• Read the lesson that relates to what you're about to study in class, so you get to class at least somewhat prepared.
• Print out the lesson that relates to what you're about to study in class, and use the margins, white space, or the backs of pages for taking notes in class.
• When the homework seems impossible and the textbook and your class notes aren't helping much, come to Purplemath for clarification.

Let Purplemath help you always be prepared!

Go to the lessons!

How should I be formatting my homework?

Neat homework can aid your comprehension and might make your teacher like you better. Purplemath's " Homework Guidelines for Mathematics " will give you a leg up, explaining in clear terms what your math teacher is looking for. The Guidelines link to examples of common errors, and demonstrate techniques that your instructors will love! In addition, students who get in the habit of explaining themselves clearly in their homework gain greater understanding of what they're doing, and therefore tend to do much better on their tests.

English teachers tell their students explicitly how to format their papers: what fonts, what page margins, what style guides, etc. Math teachers, on the other hand, frequently just complain amongst themselves in the faculty lounge about how messy their students' work is. Meanwhile, their students wonder why they've lost points on homework and tests.

Study these Guidelines , print out this " formatting " PDF, and improve your learning, retention, and test scores. Don't leave easy points on the table!

Go to the Guidelines!

How can I measure my study skills?

Many students, from time to time, wonder, "Do I have what it takes to succeed in math?" Much of one's success or failure in algebra can be laid at the feet of one's study habits. Do you have good math study habits? Take this survey and find out.

Go to the study-skills self-survey!

Study reveals impact of homework on student achievement in math and science

by Maynooth University

Researchers at Maynooth University's Hamilton Institute and Department of Mathematics and Statistics in Ireland have unveiled significant findings on the role of homework in student achievement. The research, led by Prof Andrew Parnell, Nathan McJames and Prof Ann O'Shea, used a new AI model to analyze data from the "Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study" (TIMSS 2019).

Focusing on 4,118 Irish students in their second year of secondary school, the research assessed the impact of varying homework patterns on their mathematics and science performance.

The study titled, "Little and often: Causal inference machine learning demonstrates the benefits of homework for improving achievement in mathematics and science" was published in the journal Learning and Instruction .

It offers new evidence on how homework frequency and duration affect academic performance among Irish secondary school students.

Frequency over duration

The study highlights that the frequency of homework is more important than its duration. Daily homework assignments were found to be most effective for improving mathematics achievement, while science performance benefited most from homework assigned three to four times a week.

Effectiveness of shorter assignments

Short-duration homework tasks, lasting up to 15 minutes, were shown to be just as effective as longer assignments. This suggests that regular, concise homework can promote learning without overwhelming students with excessive work.

Equity in benefits

Contrary to previous research, this study found that all students, regardless of socioeconomic background, experienced similar benefits from homework, indicating equitable advantages across diverse student populations. The researchers advocate for homework policies prioritizing regular, short-duration assignments to optimize student engagement and academic success without causing undue stress.

Nathan McJames, the lead author, commented, "Our study provides strong evidence that regular homework can significantly enhance student performance, especially when given 'little and often'. By avoiding very long homework assignments, this also allows students to balance schoolwork with other important activities outside of school."

Prof Andrew Parnell added, "Our use of advanced causal inference methods ensures the reliability of our findings. This research provides valuable insights that can guide evidence-based policy changes in education, ultimately benefiting students across the board."

A handy guide to the universal language for the mathematically perplexed, ars chats with ben orlin about his new book, math for english majors ..

Jennifer Ouellette - Sep 19, 2024 5:45 pm UTC

Galileo once famously described the universe as a great book "written in mathematical language and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures." Unfortunately, it's a language that many people outside of math and science simply do not speak, largely because they are flummoxed and/or intimidated by the sheer density of all that strange symbolic notation.

Math teacher extraordinaire Ben Orlin is here to help with his latest book: Math for English Majors: A Human Take on the Universal Language . And just like Orlin's previous outings, it's filled with the author's trademark bad drawings. Bonus: Orlin created a fun personality quiz, which you can take here to find out your mathematical style.

Orlin's first book, Math with Bad Drawings , after his blog of the same name, was published in 2018. It included such highlights as placing a discussion of the correlation coefficient and " Anscombe's Quartet " into the world of Harry Potter and arguing that building the Death Star in the shape of a sphere may not have been the Galactic Empire's wisest move. We declared it "a great, entertaining read for neophytes and math fans alike, because Orlin excels at finding novel ways to connect the math to real-world problems—or in the case of the Death Star, to problems in fictional worlds."

Further Reading

In 2019, Orlin took on the challenge of conveying the usefulness and beauty of calculus with tall tales, witty asides, and even more bad drawings in  Change Is the Only Constant: The Wisdom of Calculus in a Madcap World . That book is a colorful collection of 28 mathematical tales connecting concepts in calculus to art, literature, and all manner of things human beings grapple with on a daily basis.

Orlin's most recent book was 2022's Math Games with Bad Drawings —less a book one reads cover to cover and more a chance for readers to browse randomly at their leisure to find the games best suited to their particular tastes and skills, such as Jotto , a logic-oriented word game invented in 1955 that is similar to Wordle . There were five different categories of games: spatial games, number games, combination games, games of risk and reward, and information games. All could be played with just a few common household items: pencil and paper, coins, colored pens, standard dice, Goldfish crackers, paper clips, your hands, and occasionally an Internet connection. (You can try your hand at a game of Quantum Go Fish here .)

Unlike his prior books, where he carefully avoided most mathematical notation, Math for English Majors is designed to teach readers how to read and interpret mathematical symbols, proofs, and mathematical diagrams. His original vision was to write the math-y equivalent to Lynne Truss' bestselling Eats, Shoots & Leaves . "It's a very playful book about English punctuation that weaves together fun stories about the comma, the semicolon, and the dash," Orlin told Ars. "But I found that math is just a fundamentally different sort of language, and that template didn't quite work for me."

Some elements of that earlier vision remain: Math for English Majors talks about numbers as nouns, verbs as calculations, and algebra as grammar, highlighting certain idioms ("exponential") and etymologies ("squaring") for good measure.

But Orlin's main objective is to reconcile the expert's view of math, "where the notation vanishes and you're just focusing on the ideas that the notation conveys," with the beginner's experience of math, "where you can't even access the ideas because there's this thick wall of symbolism in the way." Math, says Orlin, is both "a collection of beautiful ideas and a language for expressing those ideas." His approach is the opposite of the usual popularizations of math, where ideas are translated into plain English and notation is largely avoided. Here, the notation is the primary focus.

Ars spoke with Orlin to learn more.

Ars Technica: People who are not mathematically inclined usually see all those abstract symbols and their eyes glaze over. Let's talk about the nature of symbols in math and why becoming more familiar with mathematical notation can help non-math people surmount that language barrier.  

Ben Orlin : It's tricky. When I first became a teacher, I was mostly trying to push against students who'd only learned symbol manipulation procedures and didn't have any sense of how to read and access the information behind them. It always mystified me: why do we teach that way? You end up with very bright, clever students, and all we're giving them is hundreds of hours of practice in symbol manipulation. But what is a quadratic? They can't really tell you.

One of the things I've gradually come to accept is that it's almost baked into the language that mathematical notation has developed specifically for the purpose of manipulating it without thinking hard about it. If you've had the right set of experiences leading into that, that's very convenient, because it means that when you sit down to solve a problem, you don't have to solve it like Archimedes with lots of brilliant one-off steps where you just have gorgeous geometric intuition about everything. You can just be like, "Okay, I'm going to crank through the symbol manipulation procedures." So there's a real power in those procedures. They're really valuable and important.

But if it's all you have, then you're doing a dance where you know the moves, but you've never heard the music. You can't troubleshoot. Sometimes I wish as a teacher, you could just say, "Look, the symbol manipulation procedures are worthless. We can just skip those and focus on the ideas." But they're tangled up in a much more complex way. So somehow you have to climb in there with the students and move back and forth between the things that are happening on the page and the ideas that are unfolding in some kind of higher space.

That's the place this book eventually gets to. But I go there gradually, because you need a lot of experience with symbols that make sense to you before you can feel comfortable when you do manipulations on a page.
