Exciting News About High School Mathematics!

Thursday, August 4, 2011 by Sherry Krsticevic

On August 1, Kendall Hunt Publishing Company added to its roster of inquiry- and standards-based mathematics programs with the purchase of six high school mathematics programs from Key Curriculum Press. This means that we can now offer a comprehensive selection of high-quality, hands-on math curricula from PreK to grade 12!

Adding high school mathematics curricula to the company's bookbag has been a major goal for Kendall Hunt, but finding the right programs was challenging. K-12 division vice president Charley Cook explains that "the high school curricula needed to be a good fit with our inquiry- and standards-based curricula at the elementary and middle grade levels. The new programs from Key match well with both and represent a logical progression of Kendall Hunt’s PreK-12 publishing philosophy.”

Discovering Mathematics SeriesThe newly-acquired high school math programs are:

·         Discovering Algebra
·         Discovering Geometry
·         Discovering Advanced Algebra
·         Precalculus with Trigonometry
·         Calculus
·         Statistics in Action

The first three programs are part of the Discovering Mathematics series and are fully aligned to the Common Core State Standards. The remaining programs are part of the Advanced Mathematics series, which helps prepare students for Advanced Placement exams and the study of college mathematics.

Kendall Hunt's future plans include working with each curriculum's author teams to transform the texts into fully interactive, digital mathematics programs available in Flourish, the Kendall Hunt digital learning network.

As you can imagine, bringing six new programs to Kendall Hunt involves a lot of work behind the scenes, so the next 30 days will be a transition period for us. In the meantime, you can click on the above links to learn more about these new programs for grades 9-12.  And be sure to visit here often to get up-to-the-minute information about how to bring them to your classroom!

It's hard to believe another NCTM annual conference is upon us.  The big talk at this year's meeting is about the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for Mathematics, as educators and publishers alike are working hard to make sure the curricula they're using are aligned to the new standards. 

Fortunately for Kendall Hunt, our core math products like Math Trailblazers and Math Trailblazers CCSS Seal
Math Innovations already align very well with the CCSS.  And as a digital publishing company with a strong focus on the development of digital learning resources, we can provide CCSS-related program enhancements to our customers easily and economically without the need to purchase additional print materials.

If you're attending NCTM, stop by booth 1235 to learn more about the ways we can help you address the new standards in your districts and classrooms.  We're also sponsoring some great workshops that will provide additional product information -- you can learn more about those here.

And if you're not attending NCTM this year, don't worry! Just call your Kendall Hunt sales representative at 1-800-542-6657 -- they'll be happy to speak with you about all of our math product solutions -- including Flourish, our new digital learning network -- and the ways they can help you not only meet, but exceed the new CCSS standards!
