ACALETICS - method of math instruction teaches students

The ACALETICS® method of math instruction teaches students that the preparation required to be a good athlete is what is necessary to be a good student – practice, practice, practice!

Educational Development Associates, Inc. (EDA) was founded in 1985 as a learning center specializing in math, reading and test preparation. EDA offers several research-based, results-based supplemental products and services to schools throughout the country to boost student performance and achievement. Through its innovative ACALETICS® Math program, EDA has helped more than 250,000 students improve test scores dramatically by providing invaluable resources and direct support to schools. In 2006, two of Florida’s Top 10 Schools Making Progress (out of 2800 schools) partnered with EDA. Additionally, one of our High-Poverty Schools is among Florida’s 2006 Top 10 High-Performing Schools.
