Welcome to Mainland High School's
Algebra 1A / 1B Internet Project
Mainland mathematics teachers and students spent two summers, during 1998 and 1999, developing this web-based curriculum which consists of nine modules that are aligned with the NCTM's Standards 2000. To view a module's curriculum, select its title from the navigation menu. From each module's home page, a calendar will take you to a day-to-day outline with specific classwork, homework, journal assignments, and flexible unit projects. During the CCTT Grant, teachers at Mainland assigned this curriculum to their students through ActiveClassroom, a web-based classroom management application developed by the grant's programmer.
Permission was granted by Glencoe/McGraw-Hill, the publisher of our District's Algebra textbooks, for students and teachers participating in this pilot program to view HTML-converted ancillary materials as a means of providing “an interesting way to enhance their mathematics skills.”
This project was supported with funds provided by a USDOE Technology Innovation Challenge Grant entitled The Career Connection to Teaching With Technology (CCTT) whose mission is “to develop standards-based curriculum materials and deliver them to the educational community through integrated technologies.”
Integrated-Access STEM Sites is delighted to host this website as a part of CCTT's Historical Archive. CCTT sought to involve outstanding teachers from geographically diverse schools and districts nationwide in the development of educational resources, aligned with challenging state and national standards. Guided by content experts from national educational organizations, teachers systematically and continuously created materials from Internet resources and used them effectively in their classrooms.
Mainland is a comprehensive public high school located in Daytona Beach, Florida.
