With Epsilon (approximately 5th grade), the Fraction Overlay set is introduced.
They are used to teach basic arithmetic, place value of integers and of the unknown (or x), and more, as the series progresses. These blocks-sort of a cross between Cuisenaire rods, base-10 blocks, and Legos-are color-coded rods in lengths of 1-10, with red blocks that form a 10x10 base. The Integer blocks are essential for the lower level courses, and used all the way through Algebra 1. Math-U-See has developed three sets of manipulatives, proprietary to their courses. They are your multi-sensory, educational tools. The video and the Teacher Manual are designed to easily familiarize you with the new material. The answer keys are for the Student Text and the Test Booklet. The instructions provide the written explanation for the new concept and several examples illustrate the new concept. The Teacher Manual provides written instructions, examples, and answer keys for each of the 30 lessons.
Have the students watch the video with you, if you think it would be helpful. There are slight variations in the number of worksheets, lessons, and unit tests in the upper level material ( Algebra 1 through Calculus).Īs the teacher, watch the DVD to learn the concept yourself and see how to demonstrate this concept with the appropriate manipulatives. These may be used to help determine mastery or as an extra worksheet. The Test Booklet has one test per lesson (30 lessons), four unit tests, and a final exam. The word problems on these pages reinforce math concepts mastered in past lessons. There are also three Systematic Review worksheets covering the new material as well as providing practice of the math concepts previously studied. These practice sheets include word problems which are designed to apply the concept being taught in the lesson. There are three Lesson Practice sheets focusing on the new concept. The Student Text has six worksheets per lesson. The Math-U-See strategy involves three components: video instruction for the teacher and student, hands-on manipulatives to illustrate abstract math concepts, and workbooks to provide plenty of practice, systematic review, and real life application. Math-U-See wants students to learn their math facts, rules, and formulas, and they also want students to be able to use this knowledge in everyday life. The reason we study math is so we can apply what we learn in everyday situations. The goal of Math-U-See is to encourage students to be confident problem solvers who understand and enjoy the study of math. Update: We have finally set up an account with Demme Learning and will have Math-U-See, Spelling You See, and other products on our shelves by summer 2022! We're working on a more in-depth review (with an Our Honest Opinion section) now.
