REVIEW PANEL ADVISORY RECOMMENDATION

2014 MATHEMATICS PRIMARY ADOPTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS

Publisher / Series / Grade Level(s)
Pearson Scott Foresman & Prentice Hall / CA Common Core Algebra I / Algebra I

Program Summary:

The Mathematics program CA Common Core Algebra 1 is composed of, but not limited to, the following items: Algebra 1 Common Core Student Edition (SE); Algebra 1 Common Core Teacher Edition (TE).

Recommendation:

Pearson’s CA Common Core Algebra 1 is recommended for adoption because it is aligned with the California Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and meets the rest of the evaluation criteria approved by the State Board of Education for this adoption. Edits and corrections required as a condition of adoption are listed under the “Edits and Corrections” section of the report below.

Criteria Category 1: Mathematics Content/Alignment with Standards

Edits and Corrections:

The following edits and corrections must be made as a condition of adoption.

1. Algebra I, TE, p. 498: Include “The set of polynomials is closed…..of addition and subtraction.” in the SE p. 489 on the side under Plan.

2. Algebra I, TE, p. 498: Include “The set of polynomials is closed…..of multiplication.” in the SE p. 499 on the side under Plan.

3. Algebra I, TE, p. 583: Insert the full derivation of the quadratic formula to the TE only.

4. Algebra I, SE, p. 583: Remove all of the text located on the right side of the derivation of the quadratic formula.

5. Algebra I, SE, p. 583: From Step 2, replace the 2nd and 4th lines of the derivation with blank lines.

6. Algebra I, TE, p. 583: From Step 3, replace the 2nd and 3rd lines of the derivation with blank lines.

7. Algebra I, SE/TE, p. 144: In the Key Concept Percent Change box the formula needs to be rewritten as

Percent Change, p% = .

8. Algebra I, SE/TE, p.216: Enlarge picture (water bottle is too small).

9. Algebra I, SE/TE, p. 234: Left-most graph should bend up, not down, after straight-line segment.

10. Algebra I, SE/TE, p. 577: Change “b2” to “b2”.

11. Algebra I, SE/TE, p. 725B: Change “P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B)” to

“P(A and B) = P(A) · P(B)”.

12. Algebra I, SE/TE, p. 725B: Change “P(A then B) = P(A) + P(B after A)” to

“P(A then B) = P(A) · P(B after A)”.
