Description: Applied Mathematics is a course for students whose IEP reflects the use of alternate standards. Students
are given a baseline pre-test before each unit of study. The program is a literacy-based curriculum which utilizes word
problems and graphic organizers taught in a repetitive, direct instruction method. The concepts are based on grade-level
standards and incorporate daily functional math skills based on real-world applications. Students are taught one story a
week and the skills is applied and practiced in a variety of ways throughout the week. Students also use the Brigance
Transition Assessment and Getting Real Assessments to see where their math strengths and weaknesses are.
