A Research-Based Approach to Our 9–12 Math Curriculum
The Science of Learning Meets the Art of Teaching
Teach students that "I can" is the most powerful way to think.
Rich Tasks
Online "Explore" activities begin with an open-ended question that requires deep conceptual thinking from the learner. Focused on student exploration and reasoning over right answers, Inquiry Questions in every lesson provides opportunities for students to apply their learning.
"I Can" Statements
Learning targets in the form of "I Can" statements appear at the beginning of each lesson to communicate the objective in student-friendly language.
Mindset Matters Tips
Each module in the Teacher Edition includes Mindset Matters tips. They provide strategies for encouraging a growth mindset and productive approaches to problem solving.
Productive Struggle Problems
Problems that can be solved with multiple solution paths encourage productive struggle and challenge student thinking.
Engage students with activities, technology, and discussions that bring math to life.
Cheryl Tobey Formative Assessment Math Probes
Each module features a Cheryl Tobey Formative Assessment Math Probe—exclusive to McGraw Hill. Students complete activities designed to target common misconceptions about mathematical concepts. Teacher resources include support for diagnosing and correcting these misconceptions.
