Horizons Math

Description

Horizons Math from Alpha Omega Publications lays a solid foundation for numerical literacy with an early emphasis on hands-on concept learning. Concepts are introduced incrementally, then practiced, developed, and reviewed. 

The program uses a few separately purchased manipulatives (optional) as well as common household items, charts, and number lines found in the teacher’s handbooks. Analytical reasoning and mental math are stressed throughout the series, as well as memorization and drill. The Teacher Book contains daily lesson plans, reduced student pages, answers to the work­text, an overview, materials list, activities, and supplemental worksheets. There are 160 lessons per level, each taking about 20-30 minutes. Cumulative tests are given after every 10 lessons. A part of each lesson is oral (more at grade K), and colorful student worksheets lay foundations for lessons and review concepts previously taught. The actual lesson is to be taught by the parent—there are only brief instructions on the pages of the workbooks and are not intended to be self- instructional. Boxed sets contain teacher book and student workbooks. 

Admittedly, while no math program will work for everyone – Horizons Math seemingly has few flaws. Although it may be more advanced for grade level than the "average" program, this isn’t necessarily a negative. The developmental approach to learning in this program means a non-math learner can easily succeed, while the "math whiz" will be challenged by the advanced topics introduced early.
