Math Textbooks Up for Review

By Kristina Schnack Kotlus

Prince William County, Va. — Following a committee review, proposed math textbooks for Prince William County Schools are now on display for public review.

Mathematics textbooks for kindergarten through calculus will be available for viewing and comments from now until December 21, 2011.

“Citizens’ comments will be collected and considered by the textbook adoption committee as they prepare their recommendations to the School Board this winter,” stated a Prince William County Schools press release.

The textbooks from Kindergarten through Algebra II will be available at:

Professional Library of the Edward. L. Kelly Leadership Center

Chinn Park Regional Library

Bull Run Regional Libraries

Ashland Elementary School

Battlefield High School

Ellis Elementary School

Forest Park High School

Fred Lynn Middle School

Lake Ridge Middle School

Occoquan Elementary School

Penn Elementary School

Pennington Traditional School

Saunders Middle School

Signal Hill Elementary School

Swans Creek Elementary School

Victory Elementary School

T. Clay Wood Elementary School.

Upper level books for math above Algebra II will be available at the Edward L. Kelly Leadership Center, at 14715 Bristow Road in Manassas.

Math in PWCS has been a hot-button issue for many parents following the introduction of “Math Investigations” which prompted the creation of a website, “PWCTeachMathRight.com”.

The final adoption report for any new recommended materials is planned for presentation to the School Board for information and approval in February 2012.
