| A+LS™
Mathematics Curriculum is a comprehensive, completely managed math
solution that was developed for grades one through advanced secondary
level. Using the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)
standards as guidelines, each mathematics title provides a wealth
of content that is supported by pictures and diagrams. On-screen manipulatives
such as scientific and standard calculators and rulers assist students
with their work. All titles have extensive tutorial support and are
fully correlated to major mastery standards. |

Using the four step approach of the A+LS Technology (Study Guide,
Practice Test, Mastery Test, and Essay) the curriculum follows the successfully
proven tactic of introducing a concept, fully explaining it, and using examples
to reinforce understanding of the concept. Upper level mathematics titles
give students the opportunity to answer questions and receive interactive
feedback to enhance their understanding. Students learn to use common sense,
mental math, estimation, and other methods to solve problems and check answers
for reasonableness.
Mathematics I - VIII provides grade appropriate material that includes exercises
that require students to choose operations and develop strategies to solve
problems. The ten secondary level mathematics titles expand to support formulas,
theorems, functions, and equations in Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Calculus, and
Trigonometry. The robust algebra curriculum alone contains over 200 lessons
in five titles. Additionally, Real World Math was designed for students
who need to know the role of mathematics within the context of everyday
life and includes practical applications such as taxes, purchasing, budgeting,
loans, and more. |
