TAI Math students showed a remarkable 2 to 1 ratio inachievement gains over the control students in six majorresearch studies.All ability levels also evidenced accelerated progress, withmany students completing Pre-Algebra by grade six.

TAI Affective Results

TAI Math students demonstrated significant affective gains inself esteem, social adjustment, classroom behavior, and mathattitudes.

TAI Validation

TAI Math has been cited as an exemplary program by the U.S.Department of Education.

All of these results have been consistently validated by classroom experience over the last decade.

The uniqueness of T.a.i. math lies in the way the program is structured and implemented. The single-focus Student Books are age-neutral, allowing you to tailor your instruction to individual student needs. Classroom Sets are comprised of different configurations of Student Books, based on the concepts most appropriate for that grade level. (See Distribution of Books for Classroom Sets.)

T.a.i. math students:• Are assigned to 1 of 13 Student Books based on a comprehensive placement test

• Work in mixed-level, competitive teams

• Check one another’s work, motivating each other to work quickly and independently

• Give and score practice tests, certifying classmates are ready for the next level

problem solving Connections

WhaT iT is...Problem Solving Connections is an instructional program for grades one through six that systematically develops the fundamental strategies needed for solving challenging problems. More than 25 complex problems in each unit provide opportunities for strategy application in a variety of contexts. The structure of the program is unique in that concepts and strategies are introduced and reviewed in a spiral fashion so that students can enter the program at any level. Problem Solving Connections provides real-life applications to all curricular areas, as well as opportunities to discuss and extend each strategy and to create original problems.

WhaT iT does...problem solving Connections helps students excel on the research-based NCTM Standards. It raises student math scores and prepares students for the newer assessments through practice in “explaining the solution.”problem solving Connections:

• Teaches problem solving as a set of strategies to apply on content from across the curriculum

• Models not only how, but also when and why to apply each strategy

• Builds students’ higher-level skills in verbalizing, explaining, and justifying their solutions

• Incorporates manipulatives, calculators, and technology as appropriate

hoW iT WoRKs...problem solving Connections incorporates both challenging problems and instruction in the strategies necessary for solving them. Each grade level provides more than two hundred process problems. Every unit develops and applies one of ten strategies that research indicates lead to accelerated problem solving abilities. Lessons within the unit systematically introduce, model, and expand student abilities to use and explain each strategy:

• Estimate• Act It Out• Make a Model• Work Backwards• Draw a Picture or Diagram• Make a List/Table/Chart• Look for a Pattern• Guess and Check• Use Logical Reasoning• Set Up an Equation

hoW iT WoRKs FoR YoU...Problem Solving Connections minimizes teacher preparation time by using clear explanations in each lesson – introducing and modeling each strategy with easy-to-implement techniques. Also included are discussion questions to help students internalize the strategies and apply them in new situations, unit assessments, and cumulative reviews.
