Why has the Bellevue School District begun the process to adopt a new high school mathematics textbook?
Our current high school mathematics textbooks, Contemporary Mathematics in Context (Core Plus), were adopted ten years ago. The books have been well used, are falling apart, and are not the current updated versions. Of greater significance, the state has recently adopted new mathematics standards and our students will be required to pass end of course assessments in order to graduate from high school. In addition to advancing the districts mission to prepare our students for college and beyond, it is critical that the materials used in the Bellevue School District address these standards and prepare our students for these tests. With these goals in mind, our high school math teachers came together this fall to begin the math textbook adoption process.
