Photo Algebra a challenge? Learning Zone is your pass to success.

WestEd's Learning Zone provides affordable after-school education for high school and middle school students struggling with algebra and algebra readiness. Learning Zone is:
  • A California state-approved supplemental program.
  • The only service licensed to use the Carnegie Learning Cognitive Tutor, recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as one of only two "exemplary" math programs.
  • A program created by WestEd, a nonprofit research and development organization that has worked in mathematics education since 1966.
How Learning Zone is Different
Learning Zone researchers have identified and addressed six content areas that most often become gaps in a student's understanding of algebra. When a student begins with the Learning Zone, they take the Learning Gap Assessment (a written diagnostic test) from which a Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is created. The PLP details what the student needs to learn to succeed in algebra.
