Pre-Algebra Work (Plastic & Cut)

To actually do mathematics it is necessary to test, debate, revise, and even replace ideas about mathematical operations. This set of materials allows your students to be introduced to the major concepts of Pre-Algebra while at the same time giving them the opportunity to explore, make mistakes and learn from them. One of the common misconceptions is that students will come to make sense of mathematics and they will solve problems through reasoning. The materials in this packet were designed not only for independent work, but can be used for group discussion, exploration, and a deeper understanding through inquiry. These cards can also be used before you start a higher level math program using such books as Saxon Pre-Algebra, Key-Curriculum Pre-Algebra, or Pearson Pre-Algebra. Set comes complete with the following: Teacher's Answer Key Nomenclature (colour coded with Activity cards) Activity Cards with the following concepts: Algebraic Expressions and Integers Properties of Numbers Fractions Factors Exponents Solving Equations Solving Inequalities Solving Multi-step Equations Solving Multi-step Inequalities, and Patterns and Polynomials Control Chart depicting Properties of Numbers Take a look at our Math Flow Chart for Upper Elementary to see how this work fits in with the traditional Montessori math curriculum. To fully containerize this material, we recommend 2slotted boxes or 2 crystal sorters
