Alpha level Math U See

This is a year-long course that spans throughout the entire academic year and includes 31 sessions (14 classes in Fall 2024 and 17 classes in Spring 2025 semester). Registration confirms your student’s spot for the year-long course. The class focuses on teaching the concepts of single digit addition and subtraction. We will be using systematic strategies to memorize the addition and subtraction facts. I will be using the Math-U-See Alpha level curriculum and manipulatives in class. Students are required to purchase their own Alpha student pack (includes student workbook and test booklet) and 1-inch binder and bring them on the first day of class. Here is the link to purchase the Alpha student pack:
