Math-U-See Epsilon

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 Epsilon Universal Set includes everything you need for the Epsilon level, including the Instruction Manual, Instruction DVD, Student Workbook, Tests Booklet, Fraction Overlays, and 12 months of access to the Epsilon Digital Pack. The Epsilon level teaches fractions in an intuitive way with visual explanations of equivalent fractions, common denominators, and fractions and numbers larger than 1. Students will also understand addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of fractions and mixed numbers.

The Fraction Overlays are colored pieces that correspond to Manipulative Blocks. Thirty-seven total pieces represent halves through sixteenths. There are 1 green, 2 white, 2 orange, 3 pink, 4 yellow, 5 light blue, and 6 violet colored vinyl pieces that represent the numerator. The clear lined overlays portray the denominator. In the six-pocket cloth holder, there are two each of the halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, sixths, and tenths overlays, plus one each of the smaller eighths and sixteenths rulers.

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 line-listed answers to the student workbook and tests.

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 Tests Booklet provides opportunities for assessment with a test for each chapter, unit tests that cover multiple chapters, and a final test. Test answers are in the Instruction Manual.

The Epsilon Digital Pack includes an Instruction Manual PDF, lesson and test solutions, streaming instruction videos, access to the Math-U-See Digital Manipulatives, and other online resources.
