Horizons Math Framework
In the early 1990’s the academic leadership at AOP recognized the need to develop a new math
program. No, this was not intended to be “new math” but was to be an innovative approach to the
teaching of mathematics. AOP had a long history of experience with the LIFEPAC math program.
This experience revealed that not every student approaches the study of math from the same
perspective. So began the Horizons journey. Today, the Horizons name is not only associated with one
of the finest math programs available, but it is also associated with an excellent phonics program, a
wonderful penmanship program and an exceptional spelling program. What is it that makes
Horizons so unique? Hopefully the answer to this question will be explained for you on the following
pages.
At the time Horizons math was developed the state of math instruction in the U.S. was at an all
time low. This prompted the author to begin the Teacher’s Handbook with the following:
The challenge
Today’s average high school graduate knows and can do less math than their
counterpart of ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago. Basic math skills have deteriorated to
the point that many wonder if this country can continue to be a leader in shaping the
technology of the future. Unfortunately, the general trend of modern education of all
types is downward. Students in private education, while they score higher overall than
public school students, still do poorly in math computation skills.
The goal
The goal of this curriculum is to provide the parent and teacher with a tool that will
help them effectively combat this deterioration of math skills by raising the level of
student performance. Research of the content and methods of other existing
curriculums, the concepts evaluated by achievement tests, and typical courses of study
resulted in selection of the Scope and Sequence. This curriculum was not planned
around any particular group of students. Rather, it was determined that the material
in this curriculum constituted a reasonable level of performance for students at the
grade levels for which it is intended. The curriculum is designed so that the teacher
can adapt its use to student(s) of widely varying ability. In other words, the curriculum
is a tool that is capable of performing well over a broad range of student ability to help
them achieve a higher minimum level of proficiency
13
Jerome Bruner in his book The Process of Education, 1961, says that instruction should address
four major aspects. They are:
1. Predisposition towards learning;
2. The ways in which a body of knowledge can be structured so that it can be most readily
grasped by the learner;
3. The most effective sequences in which to present material;
4. The nature and pacing of rewards and punishments.
Predisposition: Young children especially are attracted to things that are bright and colorful.
Horizon’s makes learning attractive by the effective use of color and engaging illustrations. Students
are drawn to the material because it looks like fun and not so much like a math textbook. They want
to learn.
Structure-what level: Except for Kindergarten, each level of Horizons Math has a readiness test to
help determine if a child is ready for the content of a particular grade level. This insures that the
student is working on material that they can grasp and understand. When new concepts are
introduced it is at a very rudimentary level. Only enough information is presented to enable the
student to successfully complete the rather short number of practice exercises that are presented the
first time. The difficulty of the concept then slowly matures as the students continue the practice for
about a two-week time period.
Sequence-how much: Careful thought and planning has gone into the order in which the material
is presented. One concept builds until it reaches a level where the next concept can be logically
presented. Review is often, cyclical and in short chunks rather than in pages of “drill and kill.”
Rewards-how often: Rewards are a daily occurrence for most students because they practice several
different concepts each day. Some are at a very basic level and others are drill of previously mastered
concepts. In other words, daily there are at least one or two sections of problems that the student can
successfully answer.
14
Readiness: Previously mentioned were the readiness tests that precede each level of material.
These are essential for students entering the Horizons program at a point other than the
Kindergarten level. Each year starts with a review of previously covered material but an assumption
is made that the student is bringing a certain level of proficiency with them from previous
experience. Once a student gets adjusted to the Horizons work-track they should be able to transition
from one level to the next without any difficulty. It is just for the student jumping into, for example,
the third grade level, for whom a careful assessment and placement needs to take place. In some
instances some supplemental tutoring may bring the student up to speed. We have had not only
students but also teachers express difficulty in adjusting to the Horizons sequence. Fifth grade
instructors have said that this is the first time that they have encountered the geometry content
found in Horizons and have themselves needed to get up to speed to be effective instructors.
Spiral organization: The Six-Step Horizons Concept Development. Horizons combines the best of
unit study and review to provide a detailed concept introduction, development, and review cycle. The
Development of Concepts chart below illustrates this cycle. Horizons builds comprehension by
gradually introducing and reviewing each concept. The result is orderly learning from the simple to
the complex.
1 2 3 4 5 6

All concepts are covered in a flexible yet methodical way in this curriculum. The Concept
Development Chart illustrates the usual pattern of concept progression through the lesson sequence.
In any given lesson you will likely find concepts at various stages of their unfolding for the student.
Some concepts will be introduced. These are always the first item on the page. Other concepts will be
either in one of the practice phases, the break phase (in which case they do not appear in a lesson) or
at one of the review or reinforcement phases. While Lesson 34 consists of two concepts in the
secondary practice phase, three concepts in the primary practice phase, and two concepts in the
introductory phase, Lesson 50 consists of one concept in the break phase, four concepts in the
secondary practice phase, three concepts in the primary practice phase, and one concept in the
introductory phase. This repetition insures a thorough coverage over the entire year and is designed
to promote comprehensive learning. The Concept Development Chart shows the general pattern
followed in creating the lessons. The actual pattern found in the lessons will vary because
consideration was given to the relative importance of each concept.
Extrapolation: Each lesson presents practice of several different concepts for the students. This
mirrors the real life experiences of the average individual. Today’s opportunities require yesterday’s
experience in working through them. With three or more different concepts being covered in each
Horizon’s lesson the student must be capable of multitasking and applying previously learned
techniques. Connections are more easily seen between different concepts because they are not
covered in isolation.
Teacher Role: Horizon’s contains a total of 160 lessons and 16 tests (Grades 1-6). Typically, one
lesson should be completed each day during the school year. Prepare for each day by carefully
reviewing the material provided in the Teacher’s Guide. The Overview is a summary of the concepts
that will be covered in the lesson. Also review the Scope and Sequence, found in the front of each
Teacher’s Guide to see what concepts will be taught in future lessons. The Materials and Supplies is
a list of what will be needed for the lesson. Get these items assembled before starting class with the
students. Since many will be used for several lessons you may choose to hang them on the wall or on
a bulletin board. The Teaching Tips are classroom-teaching procedures that give special instructions
for each activity of the lesson. Take your time in going over these procedures. Thoroughly think
through what you will say and do, so that you have a plan in your mind before teaching the lesson to
the students. The Answer Keys for K-3 are reduced student pages with answers. These pages allow
you to have both the Teacher Notes and the Student pages in front of as you teach the lesson.
16
All activities are designed to be teacher directed both in the student lesson and in the Teacher’s
Guide. Since this handbook was designed as an integral part of the curriculum, it is absolutely
necessary to use the handbook. The handbook contains activities not found in the student texts that
are essential to the accomplishment of the curriculum objectives. Each lesson is organized into the
following sections: Concepts; Objectives; Teaching Tips; Materials, Supplies, and Equipment;
Activities; Worksheets; and occasionally a maxim or proverb. The teacher’s greatest concentration
should be on the Activities section. Here the teacher will find step-by-step directions for teaching
each lesson. They will need to use their own judgment concerning how much time is necessary to
carry out the activities. Be sure, however, that the student(s) do every problem of every lesson. Each
activity is important to the over all scope of the lesson and must be completed. Do not omit any
portion of the activities; particularly the multiplication and division drill with flash cards, unless the
student(s) have thoroughly mastered the concept being presented. Do not put off looking at the
activities in the lesson until actually teaching. Taking time to preview what will be taught is
essential. Choose the manipulatives that fit your program best. They will need to be purchased or
made by hand before the lesson.

Horizons Math for Grades K-6
Horizons Math provides a balanced and well-organized approach to primary math through
analytical reasoning, manipulatives (hands-on learning), memorization and drill. Every concept, from
addition and subtraction to graphs and estimation, follows a deliberate pattern of introduction and
gradual development to ensure student success. Fundamental concepts already learned in earlier
units are reviewed in subsequent grade levels for true mastery. Every math concept follows a
deliberate pattern of gradual development in each grade level, as well as throughout all seven grade
levels.
Analytical reasoning skills are used in making daily decisions. Beginning with the introduction of
each concept, Horizons teaches these thinking skills to help students gain a complete understanding
of the concept. Students begin to reason from the principles taught in Horizons lessons and apply
them to real-life situations.
Strands:
Numbers, Order & Value: Begins with a strong emphasis on counting and continues with a
development of number comparisons, rounding, estimating, order of operations, prime factorization,
Roman numbers, scientific notation, base 2 numbers, and integers.
Addition & Subtraction: Starts with adding and subtracting single digits numbers to another
number and increases to six-digit by six-digit operations. Also includes addition and subtraction
properties, making change, and adding and subtracting equations.
Ratios, Measurement & Decimals: From a foundation in money, time, calendar, dimension and
capacity the concepts progress to temperature, unit conversions, ratios, percentages and decimals.
Fractions & Comparison: Concepts of tall, short, long, longer, larger and smaller are extended to
parts of a whole and on to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of mixed numbers.
Equations, Colors & Geometry: Recognition of colors, shapes and direction lead to computations
involving area, perimeter, volume and surface area. Geometric definitions of point, line, segment, and
ray develop into geometric constructions with a compass and straightedge. Equations are
manipulated by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and are written for word problems.
Graphs, Estimation & Solving: Counting images on a pictograph expands to bar graphs, line
graphs and coordinate graphs. Rounding of numbers continues to estimating solutions and operations
of solving problems. Finding the average of a list of numbers sets the stage for mean, mode, median
and probability.
Multiplication and Division: Learning the multiplication facts 1-10 continues with learning
multiplication and division terms and properties, to multiplication problems of 5-digits and division
problems with a 4-digit divisor.

Square Roots
12 x 12 = 144 4 x 4 = 16 9 x 9 = 81
Suppose you were given the number 144 and asked which number multiplied by
itself equals 144? Your answer would be 12, because 122 = 144. Therefore, 12 is
the square root of 144. What would be the square root of 16? 4 would be the
square root of 16. What would be the square root of 81? 9 would be the square
root of 81.
To find the square root of a given number, you have to make an educated guess
based on your knowledge of the multiplication tables. Suppose you are given
the number 64. Think through your multiplication tables. Which number,
multiplied by itself, will yield an answer close to 64? 7 x 7 = 49, so it must be a
number larger than 7. 10 x 10 is 100, so it must be a number lower than 10.
8 x 8 = 64, so 82 = 64.
