The Accelerated Individualized Mastery (AIM) program uses proven Math-U-See strategies and manipulatives in combination with an accelerated approach to master single-digit addition and subtraction facts. Students with these gaps in understanding can experience difficulty processing complex mathematical concepts as their mental energy is consumed by processing these fundamental skills.
The AIM program replaces inefficient methods and processes (such as counting or tallying) with more effective strategies based on number relationships and reasoning. These strategies provide solid conceptual understanding and allow facts to be stored in long-term visual memory for quick retrieval. Successful completion of the AIM program helps restore students confidence and provides them with the necessary skills to successfully solve more complex problems.
Twenty-two lessons involve collaborative work between instructor and student using an intentional sequence and approach. The strategies taught in each lesson are reinforced with activities effectively structured to promote student success and self-advocacy. Throughout the program, the student has the opportunity to replace negative emotions regarding math with confidence.
