Teacher Textbook Set
Each teacher receives a textbook set that contains the following books.
Teacher's Implementation Guide
The Teacher's Implementation Guide contains a lesson map for each student text lesson. The lesson map includes each lesson's objectives, key terms, NCTM standards, essential questions, warm up questions, open-ended questions, and closing activities. An image of each student text page, including answers, is provided in the Teacher's Implementation Guide.
Teacher's Resources and Assessments
The Teacher's Resources and Assessments book contains five tests per chapter of the student text. The tests are a Pre-test, a Post-test, a Mid-Chapter Test, an End-of-Chapter test, and a Standardized Test Practice.
The Teacher's Resources and Assessments book contains the assessments with answers in place and also includes answers in both the student assignments and student skills practice pages.
What Makes Carnegie Learning Teacher Materials Valuable?
Student-Centered Classroom
In a student-centered classroom, the teacher facilitates learning and coaches students to master math concepts and procedures. Little time is spent on delivering lectures. Instead, teachers lead students in completing task-based lessons and fostering discourse where students share solutions to problems and explain their mathematical reasoning.
Lesson Map
The teacher support materials help teachers guide instruction. The lesson map provides recommendations like how and when to group students for problem investigations, offers guiding questions to assess student understanding, and provides notes and tips regarding common student misconceptions and errors. It also provides suggestions for closing lessons, assigning follow-up activities, delivering assessments, and space to record teacher reflections.
Task-Based Lessons
The lessons and activities are carefully designed to help teachers engage students in learning mathematics. The task-based lessons are organized by problem scenarios and investigations. For example, a problem scenario about tipping in a restaurant may be designed to help students use percents. The activities may require students to convert between fractions, decimals, and percents and consider mathematical relationships. The real world math tasks motivate students to learn and help them to consider how mathematics is a part of their daily lives.
