This course will guide students to master the “gateway” subject, algebra. Algebra opens the doors to more advanced classes in math, science, and technology. Students will learn and master all of the essential algebra skills. The lessons are carefully explained in clear, simple terms, so that all students will understand, learn, and master each and every topic.

Rick has developed a highly functional, successful mathematics teaching system that produces amazing results. Results that he shares on this website in both elementary and middle grades versions. 

This is a tested teaching strategy that will produce dramatic results for students. This easy to follow, step-by step program provides all the video tutorials and exercises you will need to super-charge any math program. There is plenty of free video's and exercise material available for you to see how valuable this system will be to your students. 

Rick designed this system for elementary, middle grades and even high school students who were not prepared for algebra, to help bring them to algebra-readiness in less than one school year. Through this program, many of Rick's students have improved several grade levels in their math abilities in just one school year. Rick has also used the program successfully with students who are struggling with math and have limited English skills. This award winning program compliments all basic math textbooks, so it is a perfect partner program for schools.
