Overview
The Student Edition features several components to help position students for success and keep them on the right track for mathematical proficiency. The work of National Geographic Explorers is woven throughout each chapter to create STEM connections as students grow into mathematical thinkers in the classroom and in the real world. The Student Edition provides students with learning targets and success criteria at the chapter level to make learning visible. Diverse opportunities to develop problem-solving and communication skills through deductive reasoning and exploration are also prominent throughout the text. Students gain a deeper understanding of math concepts by narrowing their focus to fewer topics at each grade level.Students master content through inductive reasoning opportunities, engaging activities that provide deeper understanding, concise, stepped-out examples, rich, thought-provoking exercises, and a continual building on what has previously been taught.
