Intel-powered classmate PC – expanding education opportunities

Math Improvement in Rancho Cordova, California

For a group of third graders in Rancho Cordova, California, math was a struggle. Though their teacher gave the students direction, time, and opportunity to master the material in class, they just weren’t getting it. Until the school got classmate PCs, that is. Once the students had access to a cool math program called "Go Solve," they not only practiced solving math problems in class on their classmate PCs, they also practiced them at home—and they found it fun. Within weeks, they were no longer trailing other third graders in the district in math scores; they were ahead.
