Math Scripts


Book Description

Math Scripts: Algebra 1 is a supplemental resource to any Algebra 1 course. It is designed to allow students to practice solving equations and inequalities studied in Algebra 1 using a script. The script provides word-for-word steps using the rules of equations, inequalities, and order of operations. Students can partner with other students and speak the parts in the script that describes step by step how to solve what is given. They have a great opportunity to write what they are saying, which helps them to process how what they are saying is related to how to denote the solution process symbolically. In other words, they are not only able to say the correct process, but they see how it should be written, building their literacy. There are different levels for each topic, so students can begin at an entry level and continue with more complex scripts. Speaking the language of math by performing math scripts will help your student become more fluent in math.

The First Steps in Number


Book Description




Place Value


Book Description

Kids can say goodbye to math anxiety with the help of the learning techniques introduced in this series of teacher-aides. Drawing on visual and kinesthetic learning strategies instead of abstract concepts, even students who have always struggled with computation can become math whizzes. Each book is designed to replace the drudgery normally associated with rote memorization with the satisfaction and success gained from engaged, hands-on learning. The key is recognizing visual patterns that exist between numbers when they are arranged in global "wholes." These visual patterns provide multiple pathways for computation and recall, and are especially suited for kids who have had little success with traditional learning techniques. These resources are packed with handy blackline masters of worksheets, assessments, and overheads, and provide a comprehensive program for elementary math skills. The third addition to the series explores single and multi-digit computation, place value, word problems, and strategies for various learning styles.
