Tool: MyOpenMath

What does it replace? Online supplemental math programs, primarily MyMathLab, a program used with Pearson textbooks.

MyOpenMath is a website that offers different free math textbooks and supplementary lessons and problems to work through and practice. A student can use this website to practice additional problems and learn more on their own, or teachers can choose to implement these free textbooks and the included study material in their classes. They offer books in many different levels of math, ranging from basic arithmetic to calculus and business calculus.

When it comes to higher education, MyOpenMath could be extremely beneficial. Everyone is required to complete a certain amount of math classes (at least at the University of Mississippi). Math textbooks are also some of the most expensive books that the school and other bookstores offer, especially because most of the books can be used for more than one course (even if you are not taking it). Professors tend to use Pearson textbooks because of MyMathLab, which is a very useful program. The majority of students do not go beyond calculus-level math, so MyOpenLab would be a great option for reducing costs while still receiving the same level of education. MyOpenLab would still allow students to complete weekly homework assignments, practice extra problems, and reference an online textbook.
