Math-U-See Pre-Algebra

Math-U-See is a complete, skill-based, student-paced, 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.

This Pre-Algebra Universal Set includes everything you need for the Pre-Algebra level, including the Instruction Manual, Instruction DVD, Student Workbook, Tests Booklet, Integer Block Kit, Algebra/Decimal Inserts, and a lifetime access to the Pre-Algebra Digital Pack. The Pre-Algebra level covers negative numbers (including adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing negative numbers), the order of operations, solving for the unknown, number lines, and more.

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 Algebra/Decimal Inserts feature smooth pieces which snap into 10s and 100s blocks. This kit consists of four red 5" squares, two green 5" squares, 12 each of blue and gray .5" by 5" flat strips, and 20 .5" red cubes.

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. "Honors Lesson" pages are designed to round out students' understanding of the main concepts. They are not designed to meet the requirements of a high school honors-level course and the designation "Honors" cannot be added to the course description even if all Honors pages are completed.

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 Pre-Algebra 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.

This Pre-Algebra Level-Up Set is designed for customers who already own the Integer Block Kit (the manipulatives are integral to the program) and only need the instructional components and Algebra/Decimal inserts. This set includes the Instruction Manual, Instruction DVD, Student Workbook, Test Booklet, Algebra/Decimal inserts, and Lifetime access to the Pre-Algebra Digital Pack. The Pre-Algebra level covers negative numbers (including adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing negative numbers), the order of operations, solving for the unknown, number lines, and more.

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 (not-included). 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.
