Available for families who already own the Math-U-See Integral Block Kit, the Math-U-See Set (no Integer Blocks) includes the Math-U-See Alpha Student Workbook and Tests, Math-U-See Alpha Online Instruction with Video, and the Math-U-See Alpha Instruction Manual. Math-U-See Alpha focuses on the mastery of single-digit addition and subtraction using visual representation, hands-on manipulatives, and practice problems. Other topics covered include place value, solving for an unknown addend, telling and writing time (hours and minutes), skip counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, and 100s, measurements, geometric shapes, and fractions (1/4 and ½). If your family is new to Math-U-See, we also offer the Math-U-See Alpha Set (with the Integer Blocks), which includes all the required components. Optionally, the Math-U-See Alpha DVD is available for families who prefer to use DVD instruction instead of online instructional videos.
