MathWork: Geometry provides 23 additional story problems for the original MathWork
maps, and 15 extension story problems with two brand-new maps! Students will learn how
to navigate school and a new neighborhood.
With over 35 story problems, MathWork: Algebra facilitates extra practice with MathWork
graphic organizers and trying a new bar graph for extension problems! An appendix in
the back provides a teacher script for the new bar graph. Other extension problems use
additional themes and practice with subtraction.
In MathWork: Data Analysis, students get additional practice with two and three column
tables and the pie charts from MathWork. Extension stories use new themes and characters
for working with MathWork charts and two brand-new pie charts.
Money, perimeter, and area are included as supplemental and extension problems within
MathWork: Measurement. New themes extend MathWork’s Next Dollar strategy so
students may begin to generalize their understanding with familiar graphic organizers!
Expand Teaching to Standards: Math with over 100 new activities to help students apply
and generalize these four upper-level math concepts.
Two years of classroom research at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have shown this program to be highly effective in teaching math skills aligned to NCTM standards to middle and high school students with significant intellectual disability.
All students can have their own MathWork book with 68 unique lessons that begin with a real-world story. These stories are illustrated with picture cues and read to students so no minimum reading level is required. Each story presents a problem and a graphic organizer for students to work out the solution by writing or placing manipulatives. Lessons are taught with fading levels of support. Covers Geometry, Algebra, Data Analysis, and Measurement.
