OpenStax projects offer an array of ancillaries for students and instructors. Currently the following resources are available.
Additional ancillaries are available specifically to support the content in Prealgebra:
Manipulative Mathematics worksheets are activities through which students develop conceptual understanding of arithmetic and algebraic concepts and procedures. Manipulatives are used to give students concrete models of abstract concepts. These activities are referenced where students tend to have little understanding of mathematical concepts and often rely on poorly memorized procedures.
With
Links to Literacy, students are given the opportunity to read primary-grade-level math-themed children’s literature whose content supports the topics in
Prealgebra . Each assignment asks the student to read a book and answer several questions, progressing from re-telling the story to applying the concept to their own lives. The
Links to Literacy assignments give our students alternate simple explanations for basic algebraic concepts and show how they apply to common life situations. They fill in the holes in some students’ math backgrounds. They provide evidence students that the basic concepts of algebra are understandable to everyone. They also help students who are not native speakers of English develop fluency with written English and with mathematical vocabulary.
