Summary:
|
The Middle School Math Pilot Committee began meeting spring 2015 and included representatives from all the middle schools. After reviewing materials from a variety of vendors, the Committee decided to pilot three textbook programs – Houghton Mifflin Go Math, Pearson CMP3, and Pearson Digits. Targeted professional development was provided, and survey information was collected from students, parents, and teachers. At the end of the pilot, the Committee met to review the data collected and to advocate for which set of materials they felt best fit the District's needs. The results of the final vote of the Pilot Committee were as follows: The two finalists were CMP3 and Digits. Pearson's Digits won by a 2/3 vote. The Committee is recommending that the Digits program (2015 edition) by Pearson be approved as the new core textbook for grades 6-8. Additionally, Pearson is making CMP3 online resources available to teachers. Copies of the textbook and comment cards are available at the Willow Creek Center for review.
