California’s State Board of Education (SBE) is rolling out new kindergarten through eighth grade teaching assistants: multilingual math bots.
In a press release Monday, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s (HMH) announced SBE approval for its “Into Math California” training, expected to nurture “deep conceptual understanding and procedural fluency, building a lifelong love for mathematics.” California currently ranks 30th nationwide in education outcomes, according to the Desert Sun.
HMH program includes “robust resources for multilingual learners and comprehensive accessibility,” and aims to improve math scores while easing classroom bilingualism burdens.
The program also incorporates “language-building routines, vocabulary resources and a Language Development Resource Guide” aligned with the state’s English Language Development standards.
