Overview - PRE-ALGEBRA 2 CURRICULUM CLASSROOM SET
The pacing is slower, but the scope and sequence of the course remains
the same as a regular pre-algebra course.
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.
