Casting Your Ballots: Elections II (CD-ROM Package)
 What is a good way for a group to make a democratic decision?
Mathematical modeling is essential in answering this question. In this unit, which is developed from COMAP’s Mathematics: Modeling Our World curriculum, students:
• Are introduced to mathematical modeling in the engaging context of elections;
• Develop their skills in number sense and percentages;
• Learn about new representations, including preference diagrams and digraphs, and current election reform topics such as instant runoffs and approval voting;
• Use software (for PC and Mac) to conduct their own elections and explore “what if” questions with election data.
A video adds historical (1992 election) and contemporary (Nielsen ratings) background. Supplemental material includes several articles from Consortium on elections and related topics.  Learn More
UMAP Library CD-ROM NEW 2007 Edition
 UMAP Modules are the perfect companion to any high school or undergraduate mathematics text.

Applications range from architecture to zoology, and math topics range from beginning algebra to multivariate calculus. Each CD-ROM contains the complete UMAP library. Learn More
Mathematics as a Second Language Terms Handbook
 Our Spanish/English mathematics terms handbook was developed with bilingual students testing needs in mind. Our glossary lists mathematical terms in English and Spanish for grades 5 - 16. Because these terms are translated “word by word” with no definitions, explanations or diagrams, our handbooks are valid for student use during standardized tests.
The terms are in alphabetical order by the English word. A separate cross-reference of Spanish words appears in the Index beginning on page 12. The terms used range from those appearing in the elementary school mathematics curriculum to the secondary school mathematics curriculum. Learn More
