MatrixMath and MetaFour Productions present Numericon
Numericon is a motivational math series addressing Ratio & Proportion; Linear Equations; Data, Statistics, & Probability; and Geometry for at-risk middle school students using emerging technologies.
Numericon may be delivered to the classroom via broadcast, streamed via media-on-demand, circulated on DVD, played as an online or disc-based computer game, or viewed on hand-held devices by individuals or small groups.
Numericon motivates students to learn and apply math concepts while answering the age-old question, “How does this math apply to real life?” While each episode offers a satisfying beginning and conclusion that can be used as a stand alone teaching tool, the complete narrative includes character development that underscores values such as teamwork, loyalty, trust, and responsibility to oneself and others.
Numericon was produced by MetaFour Productions for Middle School Achievement Through Technology-Rich Interventions (MATRIX) with a federal Star School grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Innovation and Improvement. Numericon was piloted in many California schools including Sacramento, Pomona, San Diego, and Los Angeles. Teachers fully implemented the program in areas in and around Jackson, MS and the Mississippi Delta.
