(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 23, 2001 ) As students prepare to hit the books and go back to school this fall, the National Assessment of Educational Progress reports that only 17% of high school seniors are proficient in math skills. Students are facing roadblocks to learning in the classroom and online. To help take the edge off of the challenges surrounding math and science learning, the new pop music group Dream Street introduces a free online resource that showcases the power of the new interactive language of math and science.

Dream Street, the five-member group whose teenage members boast an impressive set of credits ranging from song to stage, are showcasing the power of the Web's new language of interactive math and science on StudyWorks! Online. Through this technology -- being demonstrated for the first time -- students, parents and teachers are able to interact with all levels of math and science online to better understand, teach or master critical skills. The language brings mathematics to life, so that users can interact with it, solving math problems in real time, step-by-step to better understand concepts.

Through live homework help, online explorations, interactive technology, games and more, this online resource helps kids build the skills that will help them succeed both in and out of the classroom.
