Plato is an internet-based tutorial program. Students in my classes are using it to review old and learn new math. Students took a pre-test which allowed them to skip units they already understand. Each student gets a "prescription" of tutorial lessons recommended for them based on the pre-test. Each unit contains tutorial lessons, practice sessions, and a mastery test for the material. Each completed unit earns the student extra credit.
