What is the position of the Ministry of Education on “class sets” of textbooks?
The Ministry suggests that each jurisdiction decide how to best utilize its resources for purchasing texts and support materials. Since most texts in mathematics are similar in content, and since no text will adequately cover all topics in the proposed curriculum, it may be useful to have some copies of each text available. Other materials, such as videotapes, manipulatives, and computer programs should also be considered. A list of recommended resources is available. In addition, more comprehensive curriculum guides will provide good support to teachers.
