The mathematics modules that laid the groundwork for contextual teaching in the United States have gotten a facelift! In response to a request from educators in the state of Washington, CORD Applied Mathematics has undergone a complete revamp. CORD Mathematics: A Contextual Approach to Algebra 1, takes 21 individual units and combines them into a 4-volume, year-long algebra 1 course. The good news is all the references and materials have been updated. Better yet, the hands-on, real-world based problem solving that made applied mathematics so successful remains intact!

• Updated curriculum designed to meet WASL standards
• Perfect tool for STEM Academy math programs
• Real-world, practical applications for students who need to see the relevance of math
