The High School math teachers in Walnut Valley Unified School District have completed an extensive review of mathematics textbooks for Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. After a thorough examination and extended piloting period of California standards aligned/designed materials, the following books have been recommended for adoption:
Big Ideas Algebra 1 published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Big Ideas Geometry published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Big Ideas Algebra 2 published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
The Big Ideas Math program, written by Ron Larson and Laurie Boswell, utilizes a research-based, balanced instructional approach that includes both discovery learning and direct instruction lessons.
Interested parents are welcome to stop by the District Office at 880 S. Lemon Avenue from Monday, April 4 through Friday, April 15 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to review the materials.
