Scope and Sequence

Algebra Readiness Solutions: Bridge to Algebra Carnegie Learning® Bridge to Algebra is a one-year course designed to remediate students who have completed a middle school math sequence of instruction but still exhibit gaps in their math knowledge and skills. The course covers the five major NCTM strands: Number and Operations, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis and Probability.

The course content is comprised of a consumable textbook and Cognitive Tutor® Software. The problems and activities students encounter are designed to help students integrate conceptual and procedural knowledge needed to be successful when they enter an Algebra course.

Our unique approach for blending collaborative and cooperative classroom instruction with adaptive learning technology has been proven effective. Students are more motivated to put forth extra effort to improve their math skills. The Cognitive Tutor Software diagnoses students’ strengths and weaknesses at a highly granular level and adapts instruction to meet their exact needs.

Bridge to Algebra is adept at helping students develop a strong conceptual understanding of mathematics through multiple representations. Students do not memorize algorithms in our curriculum. Instead, they learn “why” procedures work in math by understanding the underlying representations of numbers.
