Geometry,
Second Edition is full of hands-on applications that help students
truly excel in mathematics, including workplace exercises, lab activities,
and real-world applications. Students who traditionally struggle with
mathematics come alive when they experience CORD’s contextual
approach to teaching and learning. New state tests that gauge both
content knowledge and critical thinking skills require this kind of
approach to instruction. The mathematics content is rigorous, yet
it is developed in a way that all students can learn and succeed in
class, on their state tests, and in life. |
