Alpha Universal Set

Students should start at their individual level of mastery. While concepts are reviewed continuously throughout the Math-U-See Curriculum, it is important that previously presented concepts have prepared a solid foundation. Please read the information below and use the placement tools provided to determine which level best meets the needs of your student. 

Your student may be ready for Alpha if they can:

• Accurately count up to 9
• Associate a number with a given quantity of objects
• Write the numerals 0 to 9
• Follow simple directions
• Engage in a lesson with an instructor for about 15 minutes
• Work to commit addition and subtraction facts to memory
• Persevere at a task until new skills are mastered 
  
  

Math-U-See placement tools are designed to help ensure proper initial placement and will give you a clear indication if your student is ready for Alpha.
