Implementing a digital mathematics curriculum to improve student performance : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Standardized mathematics tests measure students' ability to think critically and solve problems. In an effort to improve student performance, school corporations with below-average test scores are seeking alternative curriculums to the traditional textbook format. With grant funding, the Anderson Community School Corporation transitioned to a digital curriculum entitled Agile Mind. This online program uses a variety of animations to present traditional textbook information. Through analysis of the digital curriculum, I determine its alignment to the Common Core State Standards and the Prentice Hall Algebra I textbook previously used in the classroom. I also discuss the various implementation techniques and experiences of a specific mathematics teacher within the Anderson Community School Corporation.Honors CollegeThesis (B.?.
