  2. MathBuilders is a supplemental math program separated into eight units by content standards and grade level, allowing the teacher to focus on specific standards or provide remedial material for individual students.

  3. MathBuildersEight Units (* = currently available) • Matching, Sorting, and Patterning * • Number Concepts • Place Value • Number Operations • Measurement • Geometry * • Fractions, Mixed Numbers, and Decimals • Data Collection, Graphing, and Probability/Statistics

  4. Each MathBuilders Unit Will Contain: • Teacher’s guide with lesson plans for grades K-3 • CD-ROM with General Guidelines for Teaching Math to Young Braille Users • Student worksheets • Manipulative Parts

  5. General Guidelines for Teaching Math to Young Braille Users – included on CD-ROM and available for purchase separately - gives an overview of the eight-unit program and includes chapters that provide guidance in teaching math to braille users.

  6. MathBuilders General Guidelines • Provides General Overview of Program • Accommodations for students with VI • Adaptive devices • Tactile Illustrations • Assessments • Bibliography

  7. Framework for Each MathBuilders Unit: • Objectives • Instructional Strategies • Worksheets • Manipulatives • Assessment Grid

  9. MathBuilders Lesson Plans Include: • Objective • NCTM Standard and Curriculum Focal Point • Suggested Materials • Instructional Strategies • Connections to other curriculum areas

  10. MathBuilders Worksheets • Reinforce concept • Provide additional practice • Print over Braille for directions • Coded to match lessons

  11. Other MathBuilders Components • Suggested stories and connections to other content areas • Related Math Materials • Assessment Grid

  12. Matching, Sorting, and Patterning • Teacher’s Guide • Introduction for specific content theme • Recommended children’s literature • Lessons for grades K-3 • 58 Worksheets • Print over Braille • Answer sheet in teacher’s guide • Manipulatives • CD

  13. Materials Included in Kit • Kit includes the majority of materials for each lesson • Set of 54 shapes – three shapes, three sizes, and three colors/textures • Story Board and shapes with Velcro backing • - Length sticks • - Feel ‘n Peel stickers and • instruments for making • sound patterns

  14. Sample Objectives for Kindergarten • MA K-1 Match pairs of identical common objects • MA K-2 Match by size. • MA K-3 Match by shape. • MA K-4 Match by color or texture. • MA K-5 Identify the one object in a set of objects • that is very different. • MA K-6 Identify the one object in a set of objects • that is different in only one way. • MA K-7 Recognize patterns. • MA K-8 Describe patterns.

  15. Sample Lesson MA K-10 Matching, Sorting, Patterning Objective: The child will extend a simple pattern of two or three objects or shapes by repeating the pattern at least two more times.

  16. Sample ActivityOn the bottom row find the next two shapes to continue the pattern on the top row:

  19. Introduction of Nemeth • Shapes • Similar • Congruent • Parallel • Perpendicular

  20. Sample Objectives for 1st Grade • G 1-1 Identify and reproduct/construct the common geometric shapes: circle, square, triangle, and rectangle, and lines – straight and curved • G 1-2* Describe the common geometric shapes: circle, square, triangle, and rectangle according to the number of sides and corners (vertices) • G 1-3* Investigate, describe and name common 3-dimensional shapes: sphere, cube, and pyramid • G 1-4 Examine and relate 3-dimensional shapes to 2-dimensional shapes: circle to sphere, square to cube, triangle to pyramid

  21. Sample Lesson G 1-6 Geometry Objective: The student will identify symmetrical figures (lines of symmetry with two matching parts).
