All Shormann Math courses include a powerful learning method called TruePractice™, developed by Dr. Shormann over 30 years of teaching math to hundreds of thousands of students worldwide.
What Is TruePractice™?
Think about how you learn a sport. During practice, if you make a mistake, your coach doesn’t just give you the answer. Instead, they explain what went wrong, help you correct it, and have you try again right away. That’s exactly how TruePractice™ works in Shormann Math.
Each Practice Set provides:
✅ Instant right/wrong feedback
✅ Help links for quick re-learning
✅ Partial credit for corrected answers
✅ When stuck, students skip the question, answer all the others they can, and submit it. Then, they quickly re-learn missed concepts by watching Dr. Shormann's step-by-step explanation in the video solutions.
✅Rather than “spoiling” students with an answer immediately, TruePractice™ keeps them engaged and actively learning, building true mastery and fluency—not just memorization.
✅ Q&A support ensures understanding of every concept
IMPORTANT STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS: Practice Set Instructions
Why It Works
Research and real-world results show that most students answer correctly on the first or second try. With immediate feedback and built-in re-learning, students need less homework than traditional programs (like Saxon) while learning more effectively.
Because every mistake becomes a learning opportunity, students stay motivated longer and reach that “aha!” moment faster.
Practice Like a Pro
When a homework problem is attempted, immediate right/wrong feedback is provided. If the answer is wrong, a small penalty is assesed, and the student can re-learn and try again! Rather than “spoiling” them with an answer, TruePractice™ encourages students to stay engaged, building mastery and fluency.
If mastery doesn’t come right away, that’s okay! TruePractice™ is designed for growth over time. Key concepts are repeated and reviewed in future assignments—just like a good coach wouldn’t expect all players to understand a new play on the first day, TruePractice™ gives students time to develop new skills.
With TruePractice™, students build fluency, not frustration.
Does TruePractice™ work? Data obtained from our courses shows that, on most problems, students get the question right on the first or second try. By providing TruePracticeTM, students need less homework (compared to Saxon), because the immediate feedback encourages students to stay engaged longer on individual problems until that “aha” moment is achieved!
If mastery doesn’t come right away, that’s okay! Students will see the same concept repeated in future homework sets. Just like a good sports coach wouldn’t expect all players to understand a new play on the first day, TruePractice™ gives students time to develop new skills.
