I am a former math teacher and am writing on behalf of "MathTutor Educational Software", a company that publishes software packages for middle school and high school math. I have tried the software, which is for Windows PCs, and am very impressed. I have looked at other software packages but prefer the MathTutor programs because they have excellent tutorials in addition to practice and diagnostics.
The company is offering free software to students at any school that places a link to the company's website somewhere on the school's website They have asked my advice on how to "spread the word" about the offer. So I am writing to ask if anyone can suggest a good way to contact math teachers or math department chairs to inform them of the offer. They provided a description of the offer, and I've posted it below.
Thank you so much for your help!

Free Math Software to Students at a School In Exchange for a Link
MathTutor Software has a family of self study software titles for Grades 6-12 math. The programs are interactive tutorials that have been extremely effective in helping students learn the concepts of math and build problem solving skills. The programs also have built in diagnostic tests that identify a student's strengths and weaknesses, and generate a personalized study plan.
We would be pleased to offer a free program in the MathTutor series to any student at your school. This could be beneficial for students who wish to work on their math skills at home, in their free time. All they would need is a Windows PC. Students could also use the Web-based version of the program when it becomes available this summer.
If this is of interest to your school, we simply ask that you put a link to our
homepage (www.mathtutor.com) somewhere on your school's website. Perhaps on a teacher's personal page where they list websites or other resources. If a student clicks the link they will see a form that asks them to select a free title. The download instructions for the title will then be e-mailed to them.
We think your students will find the MathTutor series to be an outstanding way to build math skills and gain the confidence so critical to future math success.
I'm not sure if it's okay for me to post this here but I have been struggling to get responses to a questionnaire I have released for my university project. It takes just a few minutes to complete and I would really appreciate anyone taking part! It's aimed just at mathematics teachers and focuses on the differences in teaching classes set by ability and teaching mixed classes.
DM329The answer is A. factors of 121 (1,11,121), 169 (1,13,169), 49 (1,7.49) 25(1, 5, 25). its the only set where each perfect square has 3 factors. example 10's factors are (1,2,5,10) . hope that helps.
I am doing research for my education technology company, and looking to interview current middle and high school math teachers in the U.S. I can offer you $25, and it won't take more than 20 minutes of your time. Any takers?
Please email me at will at bakpax dot com if you're interested.
7.SP.5, to the best of my understanding, is about the concept of probability but not actually calculating anything. 7.SP.7a is about theoretical probability (P=desired outcomes/ total outcomes). But I'm confused about 7.SP.6: How can students make predictions before learning how to calculate probability? Or am I wrong about standard 5? And is standard 6 supposed to be about theoretical or experimental probability- or both? I haven't found answers on any online resources, so I'm hoping to find a math teacher who can clear this up for me.
