S TEPS TO L EARNING

T HREE S TAGES OF L EARNING Concrete–Representational–Abstract (CRA) As students move through the three stages of learning, hands-on activities address the needs of auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners. The Concrete (Manipulative) stage consists of actual contact with objects. Students look at, touch, and move objects to understand mathematical concepts. In the Representational (Pictorial) stage, students bridge the gap between the concrete and the abstract with strategies such as drawing pictures and talking about math. In the Abstract (Numbers/Signs) stage, real objects and pictures are connected to the abstract numerals and signs of arithmetic and algebra. Students gain understanding of abstract concepts from experiences in the concrete and representational stages.

T ARGETED I NTERVENTION Moving with Math® Math by Topic organizes essential objectives for Grades 1–8 or above in 4 levels. Teachers may choose to cover all topics within a level for a comprehensive intervention or focus on specific math topics for targeted intervention. Students use manipulatives in every lesson to develop conceptual understanding and improve achievement. Assessment linked to state standards and the curriculum provides data to differentiate instruction for all students. Optional web-based assessment is available for all grade levels. Level A: Grades 1–2, Level B: Grades 3–4, Level C: Grades 5–6, Level D: Grades 7-8+
