HMH Fuse represents the next era of digital education and we are proud that it has received this honor.”
The DAAs are judged according to category (Curriculum, Periodicals, Professional Development and Technology), subject area and grade level, with the HMH Fuse™: Algebra 1 App’s MathMotion function winning in the Technology, Mobile Device Application Category. Entries were evaluated on traits such as efficacy, usability, and overall educational value.
A first for K-12 education, the app gives users access to the award-winning Holt McDougal Algebra 1 core curriculum enhanced with the interactive capabilities today’s students demand. This revolutionary mobile platform combines direct instruction, ongoing support, assessment, and intervention—enabling teachers to personalize instruction for each and every student.
The MathMotion feature of the HMH Fuse™: Algebra 1 App provides users with step by step interactive problem-solving demonstrations for all example questions throughout each chapter. The “swipe to reveal” function allows users to reveal the step by step demonstration with a swipe of a finger, making it easy to access and user friendly.
