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!
That's why Kendall Hunt's Professional Development team created
its summer eConference program, which provides program-specific training by KH curriculum specialists. By using eLearning tools and digital delivery for our professional development programs, we can bring you the training you're seeking in an affordable, accessible way. There's no need to spend time and money traveling -- just pick the sessions you want and use your internet-ready computer to both register and attend! The summer eConference program has three tracks: Talented and Gifted, Math Trailblazers, and High School Science. All sessions are interactive, include hands-on activities, and provide time for curriculum-related Q&A.
The eConference program is just one more way that Kendall Hunt is working to meet the unique needs of its customers. We hope you'll continue to make us your single source for innovative digital publishing solutions and cost-effective, convenient professional development that ensures those solutions are implemented with fidelity.
Enjoy your summer!

I’ve always believed that today’s teachers are some of the most creative and resourceful people on the planet, but the time I’ve spent reading grant submissions on Kendall Hunt’s WeAreTeachers’ Ask page has reinforced that notion in a myriad of ways.
We asked you how you'd use new technology to teach science and math, and boy, did you respond! We received 450 great ideas about how technology could be used to teach math and science, and each idea shows that teachers are not only ready to use technology, but that you’re already using it in clever and engaging ways that you’re happy to share with us as well as your colleagues around the country.
If you haven’t taken a moment to read through some of the ideas, I hope you’ll find the time to take a look, and even cast a vote for your favorite idea to help an educator win a classroom grant so the idea can come to life in their classroom. And you just might find yourself inspired to replicate one of these terrific ideas in your own classroom!
Voting will continue through Thursday, December 9. But the conversation doesn't stop there -- we're always interested in the innovative ways you're helping your students learn. So keep the conversation going even after the voting's over by sharing your ideas with us in this space or on our Facebook page. We want to hear from you!
