<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 />
