Adaptive content provides individualized intervention and remediation for students who struggle with concepts. [Read more…]
Blueprint addresses foundational topics in mathematics as a means to prepare students for ongoing study in subsequent grades. The program addresses numbers, operations, geometry, spatial understanding, logical reasoning, measurement, and algebraic thinking. At each grade level, instruction emphasizes mathematical thinking and the skills needed to solve word problems.
Lessons are presented using short activities that include songs, animations, and games. Activities introduce concepts (e.g., same), build in complexity (e.g., same color, same facial expression), and incorporate critical thinking activities that require students to extend their learning to solve new and unique problems. Instruction develops conceptual understanding of fundamental math terms (e.g., long and short, part and whole, place value) as well as more general vocabulary (e.g., yellow and pencil). Lessons incorporate familiar, age appropriate characters (e.g., Dumpling the cat).
