About
High school mathematics is overdue for a systemic update. Moving past high-level theories, this practical guide serves as an essential toolkit for secondary educators ready to modernize their grades 9–12 curriculum. Discover an actionable, four-year implementation framework designed to introduce new courses and relevant pathways-like data science and quantitative reasoning-while building broad consensus and delivering a far more equitable mathematics education for all students.
Grades 9–12 mathematics teachers and administrators will:
• Explore innovative strategies to transform high school mathematics instruction
• Engage with practical resources and tools to modernize mathematics curricula
• Prepare students for future careers with access and exposure to relevant mathematics
• Enhance instructional practice through collaborative planning and professional learning
• Advocate for and implement more pertinent and effective mathematics education
Contents:
Introduction
Part 1: Getting Ready to Change
Chapter 1: Setting the Stage for Change
Chapter 2: Comparing Seven Pathways Models for Changing High School Mathematics
Part 2: Options, Decisions, and Implementation
Chapter 3: First Year-Initial Planning, Addressing Concerns, and Building Consensus
Chapter 4: Second Year-Designing and Piloting the Core of High School Mathematics for All
Chapter 5: Third Year-Designing and Piloting Differentiated Pathways
