CORD Algebra 1: Learning in Context, 3rd Edition

More and more teachers are seeing strong gains in student achievement and motivation by adopting what have become known as contextual teaching practices and “hands-on” learning.

For 30 years, CORD has been the nation’s leading provider of contextual-based
teaching tools. The legacy continues with the introduction of the
CORD Algebra 1: Learning in Context, 3rd Edition. Classrooms become active learning environments through group learning opportunities, discussions, and math labs all based on concrete, “real-world” applications.

Incorporating TI-Nspire™ technology into a number of math labs not only gives students the knowledge they need, but a chance to work with exciting technologies as well. By showing the relevance of the math, a majority of students are equipped to be successful. By showing the math in action, students of all learning styles are engaged and learn the math more in-depth.
