Minooka 201 Considering New Math Program for 6th, 7th and 8th Grades

Minooka CCSD 201 is considering adoption of a new math program for 6th, 7th and 8th grades.  The program is called "Digits" and is produced by Pearson Publishing.  More information can be found at their website.  (You can even view the training videos that show how a sample lesson proceeds as well as see how the program incorporates technology.)

While a perusal of the Digits website shows a program with highly integrated use of technology, the program is not without its detractors.  Click here for an article about another school district's adoption of Digits.

In addition, this brochure and summary of a controlled trial were provided to Minooka CCSD 201.
