Tailoring Instruction for Primary Mathematics

Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition

This is the sparest of our core programs, which means that supplementary material plays a bigger role here. We offer different supplementary titles for students who need more help grasping the fundamentals and for students who may need more advanced material.

Primary Mathematics 2022 Edition

Primary Mathematics 2022 Edition is a comprehensive program that does not require outside supplementary material. Differentiation is included throughout in side bars and suggestions in the Guides, and in multiple student books. This program may be used for all levels, but is especially effective and accessible for struggling students considering the scope, content, and approach. The detailed, scripted support offered in the Guides also makes it a good fit for educators who’d like more structure.

Tips for differentiation if you’re using Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition:

Struggling students:

  • Let students use manipulatives for a longer period of time.
  • Do more of the activities in the Guides, do not simply work through the Textbooks and Workbooks.
  • Supplementary series to check out: Extra Practice, Sprints.

Advanced students:

  • Students may not need to use manipulatives as much.
  • Do fewer activities from the Guides for each lesson.
  • Supplementary series to check out: Intensive Practice, Challenging Word Problems, Sprints, Process Skills.
