Mississauga students looking for help with math homework can seek help from a certified teacher online.
The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board is participating in the Ministry of Education’s Math Homework Help pilot project, which provides students in Grades 7-10 with free, real-time math tutoring by certified Ontario teachers.
This is the second year the program is being offered through the Catholic school board. This year, the project has expanded to 31 school boards across the province.
Students can find help by visiting www.ontario.ca/homeworkhelp.
“Students who have questions, but perhaps are too shy to ask them in class, feel comfortable asking questions online,” said Sam Mercurio, Dufferin-Peel’s e-Learning contact for the project. “In fact, students who log in for help do so with an online profile, so their privacy is protected.”
Help is available Sunday to Thursday from 5:30-9:30 p.m. Students receive individualized, confidential math tutoring from a certified Ontario teacher.
There are also online, classroom-like forums for each grade, monitored by teachers. Students can view questions other students have submitted and hear the teacher’s response while watching them work out the math problems on a whiteboard.
Videos of tutorials and commonly asked questions are also available, anytime during the week. There are also online resources, such as math games and a virtual locker where students can save their work.
To register, students will need their OEN (Ontario Education Number), which differs from their student number and can be obtained from their school.
