Core 4: Math Essentials
This course focuses on explicit and systematic instruction in basic number sense and is designed for the small population of students with emerging numeracy skills who are unable to access abstract concepts presented in general education math. We use the Transmath curriculum in Math Essentials. Transmath is a comprehensive math intervention curriculum that targets middle and high school students who lack the foundational skills necessary for entry into algebra and/or who are two or more years below grade level in math. Using a dual-topic approach, Transmath improves math skills by emphasizing fewer topics in greater depth while accelerating students to more advanced math, from number sense to rational numbers, to understanding algebra. Students who struggle with math will find new concept mastery and confidence with Transmath.
