Math-U-See is a complete, skill-based, multi-sensory mastery curriculum for grades K-12. Designed to teach students specific skills in a definite, logical sequence, this systematic and cumulative approach will help students learn how to solve math problems and discover why they're solved in such a way.
The Math-U-See system features step-by-step procedures for introducing, reviewing, practicing, and mastering concepts; each lesson includes a video, and many of the lessons from Primer through Algebra 1 use hands-on manipulatives. Teachers watch the video lesson to learn the new concept and how to demonstrate it; they then present the new concept to the student using the build-write-say model; finally, students practice the new concept using lesson practice problems from the student workbook. Student-paced, teachers are given clear guidelines for determining when students have achieved mastery and are ready to move to the next lesson or level.
This Primer Universal Set includes everything you need for the Primer level, including the Instruction Manual, DVD, Student Workbook, Integer Block Kit, and a lifetime access to the Primer Digital Pack. Concepts covered in the Primer level include not only how to write numerals, but also addition and subtraction, basic counting, skip counting, geometric shapes, and telling time; students will also be introduced to the manipulative block system.
The Integer Block Kit includes 133 pieces, and is the only one you'll need for all levels of Math-U-See, from Primer through Algebra 1; it includes 20 ones and tens, 13 fives, and 10 each of twos, threes, fours, sixes, sevens, eights, nines, and hundreds blocks, plus the Decimal Street/Block Clock poster.
The Instruction Manual features 30 lessons with detailed instructions that include illustrations of manipulatives and other visual modeling strategies. The back of the book contains answers to the student workbook; reduced-size student pages have the correct answers overlaid.
The Instructional DVD features Steve Demme teaching a classroom each lesson. Each video lesson will help teachers understand the concepts being taught, as well as how to demonstrate it (as applicable); students can also watch with the teacher if deemed helpful.
The Student Workbook contains a number of worksheets for each lesson along with systematic review pages. Extra "Application & Enrichment" activity pages provide additional lesson practice through a range of age-appropriate activities.
The Primer Digital Pack includes an Instruction Manual PDF, lesson solutions, skip count song MP3 and songbook PDF, access to the Math-U-See Digital M anipulatives, and other online resources. The Skip Count Song will help your student learn their skip counting and addition facts through a song with Christian lyrics.
