Our Mathematics Curriculum Redesign (MCR) program encourages both teachers and students to delve into mathematical content through a range of engaging, student-centered instructional practices. These methods foster student confidence and build strong problem-solving skills. These are key qualities for success in our increasingly technology-driven world. With feedback from our students and analytical collaboration with the American Institute of Research, we continuously found ways to innovate our curriculum while supplying our students with the tools to succeed.
“The MCR Student Edition provides students with the structure and space to build the conceptual understanding and procedural skills required for abstract reasoning, allowing students to transfer and apply their learning to new contexts.”
–Frances Wells, Math Curriculum Manager
