The first edition of Core-Plus Mathematics was designed to meet the curriculum, teaching, and assessment standards from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics[REF][REF][REF][REF] and the broad goals outlined in the National Research Council report, Everybody Counts: A Report to the Nation on the Future of Mathematics Education [REF].
The program is a problem-based, technology-rich, four-year college-preparatory program with an emphasis on teaching and learning mathematics through mathematical modeling and mathematical inquiry.
