==What is the goal of the project?==

===What is the goal of a [Math4] activity?===

:What is *crucial* is the notion that activities -- regardless of how they are built and how they teach -- must be  

:*aligned to quantifiable learning objectives (see curriculum framework above)

:*modular (ergo SWAPPABLE)

*...each targeted at a defined learning objective as defined by the [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/User:Gdk/4th_Grade_Maths curriculum framework] for 4th grade math as defined by the State of Massachusetts.

:*measure mastery of the learning objective.

Yes. What we're trying to do is create a dynamic learning system that will teach not just the majority of children, but all children.  That means we'll need more than one activity covering each of the points in the frame work.  In fact we could need a minimum of 4 for each point on the framework before we'll have a comprehensive system to offer.  Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles for info on why a minimum of 4.
