About This WebpageTop of Page

The purpose of this site is to provide access to a variety of mathematical sites for students at every grade level from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. We encourage teachers and families to visit and use these sites to build, reinforce and challenge students in all areas of math.

This site has been developed by Trish Hirshfield, Diana Vosbikian, Virginia Kenna, Maria Kelly, Elementary Basic Skills Math Teachers, in conjunction with Chris Bowman, Technology Teacher, from the Mount Laurel School District.

Each site is identified with correlating New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards and a brief description.

Pearson SuccessNetTop of Page

Pearson SuccessNet is the powerful computer remediation component of Mount Laurel's Investigations Math program for Grades 1-5. At the beginning of the academic year, parents should receive a letter from their child's teacher with directions for accessing the site. The letter includes the student's username along with a password. Each child has his or her own page with resources and assignments. This site also gives parents and students access to the Math Student Handbook, resources and games. It can also provide individualized, prescriptive remediation for each student. Math teachers can post activities, tests and practice for groups or individuals. Once a student has taken an assigned online test, Success Tracker immediately provides feedback showing the child's score, focal points successfully completed and those that need practice. Remediation specific to each student's needs is generated. Parents can also view how their child is progressing by logging onto their child's page.
