| Our Mission |
| At LewisWorks,
our mission is to provide an economical set of computer-based math
practice tools that
parents and teachers can provide their elementary school students to
practice learning facts. We believe that all learning starts with a
solid foundation in the facts, and that the facts must become second
nature in order to build more complex concepts upon them. The Math
Practice Tool Chest is an intuitive program designed to help students
practice and solidify math facts. The Tool Chest employs a "no nonsense"
approach, with no characters or music to detract from math lessons. Yet,
its colorful interface keeps elementary students interested.
We also want to make a difference in the world - by
providing a means for students to become proficient in mathematics.
We could have gone out and designed games, but we wanted to make things
that will help build a foundation for important skills later in life.
Ultimately, the skills practiced and mastered with these tools will
translate into higher scores on the standardized tests our states
mandate. |

Our History |
| LewisWorks was
founded in 2000 when its founder decided that there
needed to be inexpensive math practice tools for elementary school
students to use that generated completely random problems. He had
heard from more than one teacher that students were able to memorize the
first few lines of the practice sheet pages they had been copying and
using multiple times. By developing a tool
that randomly generated math problems for his kids to practice, the Math
Practice Tool Chest was born. Since then, the Tool Chest has been
sold to elementary school students through backpack flyers and through sales on this website. |

Where We're Going... |
| There are a LOT
of computer-based math practice tools yet to be developed and made
available to the parents and teachers out there that need them.
LewisWorks is currently developing "Working with Time", "Working
with Decimals", and "Working with Negative Numbers".
But there is so much more to do, we're just getting started. We're
really excited about getting into Shapes and Geometry, and
Beginning Algebra. We'd even like to get into Trigonometry
and Advanced Algebra. Older students need to practice those skills
as well. The sky's the limit! |
