Accelerated Math Kit is a “task-level learning information system” designed to generate individualized assignments or assessments for middle-grades students. The teacher assigns objectives, which are found in the software's libraries, to classes or individual students. The program then prints personalized multiplechoice exercises, practice assignments, tests, or diagnostic tests. When students complete activities, they can scan their answers back into the computer using the AccelScan optical-mark scanner, or they can type in their answers using the keyboard. The program automatically scores the activity and produces a report for the student and teacher. It can generate the next practice assignment, exercise, or test or diagnostic test for each student, taking into account the objectives already mastered and any newly assigned objectives.
