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

The first complete, standards-based mathematics curriculum for students of differing-abilities. 

Equals is a Pre K-12 curriculum that provides the best in mathematics instruction for educators who work with students in special education or in alternative education programs. It encompasses pre-readiness math skills (attending, cause and effect, etc.), fundamental math skills (numbers and operations, measurement, and estimation), and higher order math skills (data analysis, probability, spatial sense, geometry, algebra, and problem solving). Each lesson provides three levels of instruction for students with mild, moderate, and severe disabilities.

The curriculum provides a multi-sensory structure to math with three levels of instructional strategies dedicated to each lesson. Equals builds math preparedness through incremental and systematic progression from the concrete to the abstract. In addition, Equals 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.

Key Features:

  • Complete scope and sequence of math skills
  • Lessons range from pre-emerging math to traditionally taught math standards
  • K-12 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
  • + FREE online math symbol program

    Testimonial:
    "The Equals program has been going well in my classroom. After finishing the assessment, I realized my students were not as all over the place as I thought. The first lesson I did was a whole group lesson to introduce the program to my team. The staff (myself included) and students loved it! We are becoming more and more familiar with it everyday." Thanks, Jill Dizeo Teacher, NY

     



    Equals CSA Pedagogy
    Research-Tested CSA Approach 


AbleNet Equals derives its educational foundation from the research-tested Concrete, Semi-Concrete, Abstract (CSA) Pedagogy
common to general education mathematics
curricula. We have applied those same tested principles towards our special education approach, combining CSA with manipulatives and technology access instructional materials. 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 Level Based Instruction

Level 1

Typically used for students working on developmental skills or at pre-emerging academic skills. Level 1 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 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 worksheets and activities reflect the highest level of complexity for any given objective.
