Explore Math Student Book

Explore Math is more than a full-year curriculum for high school students participating in alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards. The curriculum includes two sequential Student Books with corresponding Teacher Manuals. Both Student Books focus on functional math concepts like spending money, telling time, keeping a calendar, following maps, reading graphs, and understanding paychecks. Engaging photos illustrate real life situations and give students visual cues to solve math problems. Teacher Manuals are organized as lessons, each with an objective, material list, and step-by step procedure.

The Explore Math 1 Student Book has six chapters: Math Vocabulary, Using Numbers 0-12, 0-18, 0-100, 0-1000, and Fractions. Heavily illustrated student activities/worksheets are adult appropriate with life skill themes like shopping, sports, work and cooking. They incorporate functional skills like money use, time telling and reading graphs, maps and thermometers. Large photos clearly depict concepts and help struggling students independently solve math problems.
