CORD Algebra 1: Learning in Context, 3rd Edition
More and more teachers are seeing strong gains in student achievement and motivation by adopting what have become known as contextual teaching practices and “hands-on” learning.
For 30 years, CORD has been the nation’s leading provider of contextual-based
teaching tools. The legacy continues with the introduction of the new
CORD Algebra 1: Learning in Context, 3rd Edition. Classrooms become active learning environments through group learning opportunities, discussions, and math labs all based on concrete, “real-world” applications.
Incorporating TI-Nspire™ technology into a number of new math labs not only gives students the knowledge they need, but a chance to work with exciting new technologies as well. By showing the relevance of the math, a majority of students are equipped to be successful. By showing the math in action, students of all learning styles are engaged and learn the math more in-depth.

Contextual Learning
CORD calls its highly effective pedagogy Contextual Learning. Sometimes described by theorists as “scientific constructivism,” this Contextual Learning approach incorporates the five teaching strategies embodied in the R.E.A.C.T. acronym - Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating, and Transferring. |
