What should counties consider when adopting new mathematics textbooks?

• Amount of professional development required when selecting a “bundled” program.

• Adopting the same series within a programmatic level in order to insure vertical alignment and consistent vocabulary presentation.

• Alignment of selected series across programmatic levels.

• Adopting a series that meets the needs of students who can easily master Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II as well as those who will need additional support through Algebra I Support and Conceptual Math (21st

Century Algebra).

• The adoption should provide: (a) formative assessment and prescriptive instruction/intervention (b) web–based access at school and home • RESA-based Adoption
