Memoria Pre-Algebra Instructional Videos Track List

Memoria Pre-Algebra functions as a student’s first year of algebra instruction. It finishes arithmetic with mastery of advanced computational skills and introduces algebraic terminology, concepts, and problem-solving methodology. This course achieves the latter through mastery of first-degree relations with one variable.

The Memoria Pre-Algebra Instructional Videos are intended to serve as a supplement to the written curriculum and are not required for success in the course. The co-author of this curriculum taught this material to a class of students at Highlands Latin Cottage School in Louisville, Kentucky. The class met once weekly for ninety minutes, so some lessons received more attention than others due to the time limitations. You will find that the lesson notes in the Teacher Manual match the presentation of the material in the videos closely. Use the videos to reinforce lesson content as desired, especially when students struggle with certain concepts.

Product Description

Memoria Pre-Algebra Instructional Videos (Streaming)

The content of Memoria Pre-Algebra is a significant conceptual leap from what students have studied in arithmetic. Ensure that this first year of algebra instruction lays a strong and proper foundation by matching the rigor of the material with rigor in memorization of important terms and recitation, exercise completion and correction, and completion of the Quizzes & Tests. This course is the necessary prerequisite for Memoria Algebra I.

The Memoria Pre-Algebra Set includes the Student Text, Teacher Manual, Solutions Key, Quizzes & Tests, and streaming Instructional Videos. The Student Text provides problem banks with which students can work toward mastery, clear statements of lesson objectives, introduction and review of important terms, and detailed consideration of example problems. The Teacher Manual serves as the primary instructional resource and includes an answer key for all lesson exercises. The Quizzes & Tests evaluate student progress. The Solutions Key contains complete, detailed solutions for every exercise to ensure comprehension. The streaming Instructional Videos serve as a supplement to the written curriculum, with the lesson notes in the Teacher Manual matching the videos closely.

The transition from arithmetic to algebra is a challenging one, so determining student readiness is key. Your student should have mastered arithmetic facts—including operations with fractions, decimals, and percentages—in order to be ready to succeed in this course. If there is any doubt, a Readiness Exam is included that you can administer and grade. Algebra represents a move away from mere fact retention and toward logical reasoning. Different students will be ready for that transition at different times. Your goal should be to ensure student readiness in the interest of all involved.
