I finally got around to posting my old Numeracy curriculum on my box. This is by no means a final draft of what I think our 9th grade basic math support class should look like, but it is where I left it last year. I didn't decide to start using Keynote presentations until the third unit, so that's why there aren't any Keynote files in the first couple of units. This year, I am not teaching this class, so I haven't had the opportunity to keep developing these lessons. I'm sure I will get around to reworking this stuff at some point. For now, I'll throw it out there for people to look at, borrow, critique, steal, and so forth. I hope someone finds it helpful.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for posting your numeracy curriculum. I teach Special Education math at a vocational school in Brooklyn and am constantly looking for resources that I can use and adapt to improve my students basic math skills. This is the best I've found yet. I found your site through Dy/Dan and love the work you are doing and am thankful for your sharing.
I was wondering if you could explain to me how you guys use ALEKS at your school and how your school signed up for it?
Thanks again,
Jud
Hi Judson,
I'm glad that the material is helpful to you. ALEKS is something that any individual or school can sign up for - just go to www.aleks.com. You can do a trial membership to see how it works, and if you are interested, you can contact them to get a quote for your students. Basically, each student gets an account and can access their work from any browser. We use it in our Numeracy class for about 30 minutes out of an 80 minute lesson, to provide more differentiation of curriculum. It was also what is assigned for homework, instead of worksheets.
