Glencoe Pre-Algebra









Glencoe Pre-Algebra, Texas Edition is already on the shelves at Region IV ESC.
The sample kit contains correlations for both Grades 7 and 8, along with a compendium of revised secondary TEKS and their application to the texts. Comments are requested on chapters, structure, supplementary materials, online components and other aspects of this series. We should also take into consideration how LMS students (regular, ESL and newcomer) might react and respond to its packaging. Best!
