Pre-Algebra Curriculum is
divided into two semesters to teach a full year‘s curriculum of
pre-algebra. Written for middle school and high school students with
learning differences, the content‘s reading level has been kept at
3.0–5.0 without sacrificing solid mathematics content.
Mathematics vocabulary essential to problem solving is defined and set
in bold type in the student text. The complete curriculum includes three
student texts per semester (for a total of six) and one teacher binder
per semester.
STUDENT TEXTS Student
texts include both easy-to-read lessons and pages for reinforcement.
Each lesson is typically contained within two pages, and two worksheets
follow the lesson. Extra practice sheets are included at the end of each
student text. Students have the opportunity to learn, practice, and then
review essential skills using multiple worksheets. Problems can be
worked directly in the student text, which eliminates the need to
transfer information. Word problems that focus on “real-world” skills
are provided on most sheets.
Semester One
• Numbers & Number Sense
• Operations
• Estimation, Algebra & Patterns
Semester Two
• Measurement & Introduction to Geometry
• Geometry
• Data Analysis & Statistics
TEACHER BINDER Each
teacher binder complements the student texts, with identical lessons and
at least one worksheet per lesson. Tips and guides are included to help
the teacher instruct in the most efficient and understandable way. Each
unit provides quizzes and tests to help assess mastery of skills. The
answer key for each lesson, quiz, test, and student text practice sheet
is provided at the end of each unit.
STANDARDS Pre-Algebra
Curriculum has been
carefully written to comply with the national standards and objectives.
These standards help prepare students for standardized tests. The
program can be used in self-contained and inclusive settings.
