Description:
Making Sense of Rational Numbers, Level 2, is the second level of a three level researched based, comprehensive, mathematics intervention curriculum, called TransMath. It is designed to provide support for students in grades 7-10. who lack the foundational skills necessary for successful entrance into Algebra and are at least two years below grade level on state tests. Some o the key features of the TransMath Program include:
* Intensive intervention instruction
* Conceptual-based versus procedural-based learning
* Ongoing assessment
* Building number concepts
* Problem Solving
* Online, interactive component
