Core-Plus Mathematics CCSS Edition

Strong alignment with both the CCSS mathematical practices and content expectations
Algebra and functions, geometry and trigonometry, along with statistics and probability each year within focused and coherent units with deliberate connections among the units
Problem-based, inquiry-oriented, and technology-rich
Real-world applications and mathematical modeling provide contexts for developing and connecting the CCSS mathematical practices and content expectations on a daily basis
Student-centered investigations promoting active learning, teamwork, and communication
Integrated use of CPMP-Tools software and graphing calculators in each course
Careful development of reasoning, justification, and proof across the four courses
Geometric transformations, their representations, properties, and applications, integrated throughout Courses 1–4
Course 4, Preparation for Calculus, for STEM-oriented students
An alternative CCSS-oriented, fourth-year course, Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics, for college-bound students whose intended program of study does not require calculus

What Else is New?

Updated problem contexts and data sets
