Subject: Free Algebra 1 E-Text
Recently, 25 middle school and high school teachers in the Arlington
Central School District finished an electronic textbook (E-Text) for our
introductory Algebra course. This effort was named "The Arlington Algebra
Project." The E-Text is comprised of approximately 120 lessons and
associated homeworks that, we believe, robustly cover the NYSED standards
for Integrated Algebra 1.
We have placed this E-Text on CD's. Included are both MS Word and Adobe
PDF files for all lessons and homeworks. We now plan to distribute it for
free to interested districts. We have copyrighted the E-Text in order to
keep it free to the public.
This E-Text was carefully developed over the span of two years using the
Understanding by Design curriculum model (Wiggins and McTighe). We are
currently using it with approximately 700 8th and 9th grade students. So
far, we are pleased with its quality and its ability to integrate graphing
calculator technology into algebraic instruction. Because the text comes
in Word files, it is easily modified for various purposes(enrichment,
I.E.P.'s, etc.).
I have attached a few of the lessons files to this post. Interested
districts can email me for a copy of the E-Text. I do ask that districts
limit themselves to one CD because it is easily copied to multiple
computers and their are some associated costs with producing the CD's.
Anyone who is interested in receiving a copy, please email me and include
the following:
(1) Your name
(2) The district/school/organization you work for
(3) A physical address that I can send the CD to
Arlington is giving this E-Text away for free because we believe that by
making resources easily available to everyone who wants them will give
teachers the time to become more creative in their activities and
assessments without having to worry about the day to day lessons and
worksheets.
Sincerely,
