Essentials Proficiency Program

Overview

The Catchup Math Essentials Proficiency Program reviews the course content covered in grades 6-7 math textbooks and is divided into six sequential sections. Pre-tests (quizzes) are given for each section, and students are assigned lessons based on incorrect answers. Re-teaching includes text lessons (in both English and Spanish), videos, activities, and practice problems with tutorial solutions. A student takes repeat quizzes and receives lesson-prescriptions until passing each section. Teachers can review student work written on our online whiteboard. Material from earlier courses and sections is often included and even repeated.
