Math
Scores in Illinois Soar
We just received great news from Dr. Boyle,
principal of CICERO EAST elementary school, in Cicero, Illinois.
The statistical report of the Cicero East ISAT Geometry test
scores compared with the State of Illinois scores clearly
indicate the students' math scores have gone up over 26%
for the 3rd grades, and 16% for the 5th grades, after using
Zome in the classroom. Overall since Cicero East began using
Zome in 1999, the students ISAT scores have improved by 16%-28%.
Now that is exciting!
Note: Cicero East Elementary has been using Zome in the last
few years and Paul Hildebrandt, co-inventor of Zome, was invited
to do a workshop there last year, which was a great success.
