Explore Math is more than a full-year curriculum for high school students participating in alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards. The curriculum includes two sequential Student Books with corresponding Teacher Manuals. Both Student Books focus on functional math concepts like spending money, telling time, keeping a calendar, following maps, reading graphs, and understanding paychecks. Engaging photos illustrate real life situations and give students visual cues to solve math problems. Teacher Manuals are organized as lessons, each with an objective, material list, and step-by step procedure. They also include the Student Book on CD (PDF).
Features:
- Two progressive student books
- Corresponding Teacher Manuals
- PDFs for printouts
- Photo illustrated worksheets
- Life skill themes
- Problems challenge but don’t overwhelm
- Alignment to state and national standards, including the common core
Explore Math has six chapters: Math Vocabulary, Using Numbers 0–12, Using Numbers 0–18, Using Numbers 0–100, Using Numbers 0–1000, and Fractions.
Explore Math 2 has four chapters: Home, Work, Community, and Leisure Math. It expands the concepts presented in book one and links them to a character’s everyday life. For example, Dionn works at a sports equipment company and needs to find the phone numbers of coworkers, determine map distances, schedule a business trip, and calculate business expenses.
The Curriculum includes both Student Books, 4 consumable Student Workbooks (a Book 1 and Book 2 for each title), corresponding Teacher's Manuals, and 2 discs with Classroom Licenses for printouts.
The Curriculum Plus includes the Curriculum plus a total of 40 consumable Student Workbooks (20 copies of Book 1 and 20 copies of Book 2 for each title), the GoWorksheet Maker iPad App, a set of corresponding GoWorksheet activities, and samples of communication overlays.
