Resources for Spanish Speakers
The Heritage of America Educational and Cultural Foundation has launched a beta Web site for its Spanish-language mathematics program for grades 1-3 at
www.aprematusa.org. The site makes the Aprendamos Mathematica (APREMAT) audio math instruction program available via podcast to any student free of charge. APREMAT/USA, a Spanish radio-based math instruction program that is used by more than a million students in five Latin American countries, was created in 1998 to help Spanish-speaking students improve their math achievement. The program consists of 450 (150 each for grades 1-3) 24-28 minute Spanish-language math lessons that are broadcast free via commercial radio. The program can be used either as an after school program or by parents on their own (the audio pod cast does not require broadband, so every public library in the U.S. offers access and students with a slow connection on their home computer will be able to access and use the programs).
