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.”
The 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!

Want to know what’s new at Kendall Hunt Publishing? Want to read more about Flourish, our new digital learning network that Charley Cook spoke about in his guest blogger post the other day?
Well, then you have to check out our interactive catalog for 2010-2011. You can see the catalog here, or by clicking on the cover image at right. Once you’re there you can zoom, bring up embedded video and pdfs, download the whole thing as a pdf, send an email to a friend, or just about anything else you can think of. It’s pretty cool and does a great job of highlighting all the advantages our PreK-12 products offer.
You’ll see plenty of screenshots from Flourish. And you’ll get glimpses into products still in development, including our online science curriculum, BSCS Biology: A Human Approach, as well as our online math curriculum for middle school, Math Innovations. Even though I use the word “textbook” a lot in this blog, we’re about much more than just books.
Today I’m welcoming back Charley Cook, Vice President of Kendall Hunt Publishing’s PreK-12 Division, as our guest blogger. Charley would like to tell you a little about our new digital initiatives. Take it away, Charley.
Kendall Hunt Publishing has a strong history of being responsive to the needs of the educational marketplace. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with educators to develop products and services that not only align to national and state standards, but can also address and meet specific district requirements in terms of content, accessibility, and academic achievement. Some of these products include our curriculum for high ability learners, high school science textbooks and programs developed with our partner, BSCS, and our grade school mathematics program, Math Trailblazers, which integrates math, science, and language arts.
Like you, Kendall Hunt Publishing is dedicated to improving education and preparing students to successfully navigate a rapidly changing, technologically advanced world. So it should come as no surprise that Kendall Hunt has taken a proactive role in pioneering the development of groundbreaking digital learning solutions designed to more effectively engage students, support teachers, and involve parents in the educational process.
We’re extremely excited to announce the launch of Flourish, Kendall Hunt’s new digital learning network for students, teachers, and parents. Flourish integrates technology into all aspects of teaching and learning, and helps equip students with the skills they need to become productive citizens in the 21st century. Flourish is comprehensive, interactive, and economical, and features rich, research-based educational content along with a variety of tools that enhance learning, facilitate teaching, and increase communication both in the classroom and in the home. We hope you’ll take the time to explore its many features and benefits, because we know you will believe, as we do, that it can truly change the face of classroom learning.
Flourish is the first of many new, technology-driven products you can expect to see from Kendall Hunt in the near future.
