The workbooks "Bridges" include an elaboration of difficult topics from the central track of the programs "Plus One" ("Veod Aahat"), and "One, two and Three" ("Aahat, Shtayim, Ve Shalosh"). Some of the workbooks are used as readiness for a certain topic, and some - for supplement after learning the topic.

"Bridges" (Gesharim) workbooks are designed for achieving the following goals:
  • Assisting the teacher in the diagnosis of the students' level of knowledge and understanding the source of their difficulties.
  • Assigning appropriate activities that deal with the difficulties diagnosed.
  • Bridging on gaps in the knowledge of different students.
  • Increasing the motivation of students as a result of their success in performing the activities in the workbooks.
  • Deepening the understanding of important mathematical concepts, so that students would not solve exercises in a "mechanical" way.
  • Assistance in the integration of slow students in the regular course of learning of their class.

"Bridges" workbooks contain: teacher guidance , a system of diagnosis , work sheets , and games.

Important:
  • "Bridges" is not an independent series and has to be incorporated in the programs "Plus one" or "One, Two and Three".
  • We recommend that each school buys 5 copies of each workbook of the series "Bridges". In this manner, every student would get immediate answers to his difficulties. More copies could be bought later on.
  • Teacher guidance courses are given to individual schools or in the courses of Math Leaders.
