| Course Description: | |
| This course provides hands-on, functional activities that enhance a student’s understanding of basic mathematical concepts. The instructional program emphasizes number sense, computation, money, time, measurement, and personal information. It incorporates community-based instruction, and uses meaningful and functional math activities to assist students in making connections to real-life experiences and to support students in making progress on alternate, standards-based goals and objectives. A variety of high- and low-tech individual adaptations may be utilized in order for students to access the content area. Generalization of functional math skills across school, home, and community environments is the desired outcome to maximize the student’s independence and participation in all aspects of life. | |
