Math Textbook Recommendations

PWCS recommended Mathematics textbooks to the school board on Wednesday night. Here is a link to the committee report and recommendations.

Having read the report and listened to comments from individuals on the committees, we have few questions and concerns.

Elementary Recommendation

  • enVisionMath by Pearson Publishing

There were roughly 49 people on the elementary textbook adoption committee – 9 were parents and the rest were teachers or PWCS administrative and school based staff. The committee reviewed three textbooks – Math Expressions, enVisionMath, and Math Connects. The committee rejected Math Expressions fairly quickly, which left enVisionMath and Math Connects as the two real choices. enVisionMath was selected by the committee.

Several parents and teachers who are contributors here were on the elementary textbook adoption committee.
