<strong>Alpha</strong> Math was created with the notion that Math extends beyond the classroom.<br />
Children need to understand the purpose of what they’re doing, the logic behind<br />
the procedures, and the reasonableness of their solutions. Each lesson is aligned<br />
with the Common Core State Standards, encouraging children to approach math<br />
practically so that they are prepared for college and career.<br />
<strong>Alpha</strong> Math’s problems and World Connections provide real-world context,<br />
allowing children to gain a purpose to learning. Multiple mathematical strategies<br />
encourage students to choose the approach with which they are most<br />
comfortable. Student’s participation and writing provides teachers insight to how<br />
the students are progressing and in which areas they need support.<br />
This Program Provides:<br />
Interactive, visual and differentiated learning styles that address the needs of all learners.<br />
The program is divided into chapters based on five domains of CCSS; Number & Operations in<br />
Base Ten, Operations & Algebraic Thinking, Numbers & Operations, Measurement & Data, and<br />
Geometry.<br />
Wide range of world problems to demonstrate the use of generic problem solving methods. Higher<br />
order thinking problems are involved to develop critical thinking.<br />
Definition of new terms relevant to the chapter, improving the math language skills for children by<br />
defining new terms relevant to the chapter.<br />
Formative assessment at the end of the chapter to test students’ understanding of the content.<br />
Differentiated assessment and instructional levels to address the need of all learners.<br />
Various hand-on activities based on the theory of multiple intelligence, to address all types of<br />
