Every student can learn math skills.
Every student can succeed.

The first standards-based Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry math curriculum for students with disabilities.

When students move from basic skills in mathematics to more complex thinking and doing, there is a shift of focus. In Equals Pre-Algebra and Pre-Geometry, students prepare for the more complex convergence of math content areas – measurement and geometry, algebra and numbers and operations, data analysis and algebra, algebra and geometry. Equals Pre-Algebra and Pre-Geometry is about relationships more than ever – Equals Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry provides students with the confidence they need to reach new levels in mathematics and to succeed in higher order math skills.

Key Features:

• Complete scope and sequence of Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry math skills
• Lessons range from exceptional math standards to traditionally taught math standards
• Aligned to state standards/alternate standards and common core standards
• Frequent practice exercises
• With age-neutral lessons
• Comprehensive assessment
• Real life problem solving (school-home-community math applications)
• Math manipulatives (specifically for students with disabilities)
• Hundreds of worksheets at multiple levels of complexity
• Math posters, workmats, and cards
  
  

   Equals CSA Pedagogy - Concrete, Semi-Concrete, Abstract (CSA)
  
  The curriculum provides a multi-sensory structure to math with three levels of instructional strategies dedicated to each lesson. Equals Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry builds math preparedness through incremental and systematic progression from the concrete to the abstract. In addition, Equals Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry pulls together the critical instructional elements of communication and engagement by providing the strategies and manipulatives that enable all students to demonstrate measurable progress on math outcomes.

  
  Research-Tested CSA Approach

   

  

  AbleNet Equals Pre-Algebra & Pre-Geometry derives its educational foundation from the research-tested Concrete, Semi-Concrete and Abstract pedagogy. CSA math strategies are common to high quality general education mathematics curricula. We have applied those same tested principles towards our special education approach, combining CSA with manipulatives, instructional materials, and technology that provide access to students with disabilities. In other words, Equals combines proven methods from both general and special education to create a truly unique and effective approach to mathematics instruction.  
  
   

  Equals Pre Algebra & Pre Geometry Level Based Instruction
  
  Each lesson provides three levels of instruction for students with mild, moderate, and severe disabilities.
  
  
   

  
  

  Level 1

  Typically used for students working on developmental skills or at pre-emerging academic skills. Level 1 strategies, worksheets, and activities allow the student to meet the objective in its simplest form.

   

  Level 2

  Typically used for students with beginning to intermediate academic skills. Level 2 strategies, worksheets, and activities encourage students to meet a moderate view of the objective.

   

  Level 3

  Typically used for students who benefit from academic grade level content material written with low vocabulary demands (text readability from 1.5-2.9 grade level). Level 3 strategies, worksheets, and activities reflect the highest level of complexity for any given objective.
