Prentice Hall Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2
- Differentiated Instruction
- Tier 1- Ongoing Intervention
Following each problem, the Got It? provides instant assessment of understanding. Within the Lesson Check, Do you know HOW? and Do you UNDERSTAND? assess how well students can apply the lesson skills. Within the Teacher Edition, the teacher is provided with support at point of use on how to remediate throughout the lesson.
We also have diagnostic teaching (the Get Ready), differentiated instruction throughout the lesson highlighted in the TE wrap, and leveled exercise sets for on-level students. For beyond grade level students, we have higher order thinking questions throughout the lesson exercises, differentiated homework options noted in the TE, and extension resources for every lesson.
- Tier 2- Strategic Intervention
Within the Teacher Edition there is a two page spread after every lesson titled “Differentiated Remediation”. This section contains differentiated resources for every lesson. Lesson Resources in the Teacher’s Edition provide a Lesson Quiz to be used as a tool to differentiate remediation. Additional resources to meet student needs are listed at point of use.
After students take a lesson quiz, the teacher is provided a prescription for remediation and has options for intervention, on-level, and extension activities for every lesson.
For students who are approaching grade level we have Reteaching worksheets, hands-on activities, digital manipulatives (Dynamic Activities and Math Tools), online animated problems with audio explanations, Homework Video Tutors in English and Spanish, ELL Support in the form of worksheets and activities, and alternate teaching strategies noted throughout the TE.
For students who are on grade level we provide Practice worksheets, Standardized Test Prep, and Problem Solving worksheets for every lesson. Additional resources throughout the program, such as Solve It activities, Concept Bytes, and Additional Problems support on-level students.
For students who are above grade level we provide enrichment worksheets and activities, games, and puzzles for every lesson. Additional resources such as Find the Errors, Pull It All Together, and Chapter Projects extend the learning for advanced students.
- Tier 3- Intensive Intervention
Pearson Success Tracker online assessment system providesinstant analysis of student performance. Success Tracker includesbuilt-in chapter level assessments. Success Trackerdiagnoses student success, prescribes automaticremediation, and reports on student and class progress. Theremediation provided is in multiple formats: video, tutorial,activity, worksheet, games, and audio.
MathXL for School MathXL for School is unlimited practice and remediation withtutoring and guided assistance for every chapter. Most problemsare short answer problems that require students to actually “dothe math”. There are three options once a problem is started:
1) Work through the problem and receive instant feedback
2) “Help Me Solve This” – tutorial walking through the problemsolution. Once the tutorial is finished a new problem will bedisplayed for the student to try to solve.
3) “View an Example” – a similar problem is shown with step-by-step instruction
The Foundations Series coupled with the Student Companion provides another option for intensive intervention. The Foundations Series provides additional support though hint boxes, guided practice problems, and more detailed step-by-step explanations. The Student Companion provides additional vocabulary support for each lesson in addition to meaningful practice and a lesson check.
