The Program
- Pupil Edition:
- Grade 6 T.O.C

- Grade 7 T.O.C

- Grade 8 T.O.C

-
The Pupil Edition is available in print, online, and on CD-ROM.
The Pupil Edition is student friendly, with highly motivating, relevant activities that provide ongoing opportunities for students to delve deep into the mathematics as they seek to answer rich essential questions.
Each section of a chapter is designed to take several days. The first two pages of a section are the Activity pages. As students work through these in-depth, hands-on activities, they are involved in mathematical discovery necessary for deeper understanding of the concepts.
After the Activity, the section continues with a more formal presentation of the mathematical ideas being taught. Easy to understand, stepped-out examples, followed by formative assessment through the On Your Own problems afford students, teachers, and parents a quick progress check.
The section concludes with vocabulary comprehension problems, skill practice, and problem-solving exercises.
