(Approved by the State Board of Education November 8, 2007)
SBE Item 36 – 2007 Mathematics Adoption
List of Additional Edits and Corrections
Pearson Prentice Hall’s, Prentice Hall Mathematics California
(Grades Six through Eight)
BACKGROUND
The Commission had intended to include additional edits and corrections in the Commission’s Advisory Report for this program at Grade Six. Specifically, the publisher suggested 4 additional edits and corrections for Grade Six, which were submitted as part of public comment and were reviewed by the Commission (these are listed below).
PROPOSED MOTION LANGUAGE
Adopt Pearson Prentice Hall’s, Prentice Hall Mathematics California (Grades Six through Eight ):
with minor edits and corrections as noted in the 2007 Mathematic Primary Adoption Curriculum Commission Advisory Report, and with the following additional edits and corrections reviewed by the Commission but inadvertently not included in the recommendation to the SBE:
- Grade Six, SE/TE p. 129: Why Learn This? “Two numbers are reciprocals if their product is 1.” should be changed to “Two numbers are multiplicative inverses or reciprocals if their product is 1.”
- Grade Six, SE/TE p. 203: Change “You can use the properties of equality to discover another way to determine whether ratios form a proportion.” to “You can use multiplicative inverses, or reciprocals, to determine whether ratios form a proportion. Recall that the product of reciprocals is always 1. For example, 1/8 * 8/1 = 1.”
- Grade Six, SE/TE p. 203: Line 2 of the instructional text to the right of the example at the top of the page: Change “Use the Multiplication Property of Equality. Multiply each side by both denominators.” to “Multiply each side by the multiplicative inverses of 1/8 and 1/12.”
- Grade Six, TE p. 128: Teacher text in the wrap just below the title of the activity Modeling Fraction Division: Change “Students use models to practice division of fractions.” to “Students use models to practice division of fractions and to understand why the invert-and-multiply rule is sufficient.”
- with any approved legal and social compliance citations, and
- with any publisher submitted errata (printing errors that do not affect content) as reviewed and approved by the Curriculum Commission’s Math SMC Chair and Vice Chair.
