More and
more states are requiring that students complete Algebra 1 in order
to graduate from high school. Many of these states either have changed
or are changing their state tests to include critical thinking skills.
Algebra 1, Second Edition, developed by CORD, uses a contextual teaching
approach that allows students who would traditionally struggle with
math to succeed and reach their full potential. By combining rigorous
math content and a hands-on approach to mathematics through real-world
applications and lab activities, it gives the opportunity for all
students to succeed in class, on state tests, and in life. |
