Equipment for online study sessions

Here are the equipments that we recommend as you prepare for the MathProject study sessions This will be extremely effective in facilitating a superior interactive experience in the online classroom:

• OPTION A – Any writing tablet with a stylus
• OPTION B – Any touch-screen laptop or tablet (such iPad, Samsung Tablet, etc) with a stylus
• OPTION C – A non-touchscreen laptop with a mouse or trackpad
• OPTION D- A cellphone

Some important considerations:

1. Any touch screen device will work for Conceptboard notes. However, OPTION C & D should be the last resort if Option A & B are not accessible.
2. Stylus is recommended for Option A & B. Alternatively, the student can use mouse/fingers to write.
3. It is ideal for students to have two separate devices. One will be used for camera and the other for writing on Conceptboard.

How to Ensure Your Child’s Progress Once Enrolled

• MathProject invests a significant amount of resources to keep our parents informed of weekly performance, test results, and assigned homework through weekly performance report emails. If you do not receive an updated performance report from us by email within 24 hours of the MathProject’s study session, please notify us immediately. Kindly review the report on a laptop or desktop or clear the cache on cellphones. It is often the case that parents review the reports on their cellphones without clearing their web browser’s cache which displays the older version.

• As our technology-system is Google-based, if you do not have a Gmail address, you will lose access to your child’s performance report every two weeks. In order to avoid the hassle of re-requesting access, we strongly recommend you create a Gmail address and set up mail forwarding to your regular non-Gmail email.

• If you have homework-related questions or concerns, ‘Reply All’ (NOT ‘Reply’) to the latest performance report email, and we will address your query promptly. We strive to respond to all queries within 1 business day. Alternatively, you may also call us at 1-844-628-4243 extension 2.

The MathProject management is happy to be your primary point of contact at MathProject, and you are encouraged to contact us at any time with your questions, comments, and feedback.  If you have any MathProject-related questions or concerns, please call or text us at 1-844-628-4243 or email us at support@mathproject.us.
