Mathematics: Modeling Our World (MMOW)
Course 1
  Based on feedback from users of the first edition, COMAP has completed a major revision of Course 1, now available on CD-ROM.
• Some units are completely rewritten (i.e., Pick a Winner and Landsat, which is now titled Scene from Above). Other units are streamlined while retaining the thematic, modeling approach.
• Most units are shorter. The revised Course 1 has a total of 57 Activities— a 39% reduction from first edition’s 93.
• Each Activity and Individual Work has a clear statement of purpose in the student edition and in the teacher materials.
• Lesson structure is more consistent than in the first edition from unit to unit.
• Many activities are shorter than in first edition; they are designed for completion in one 45-minute class period.
• Individual Work offers more mathematical practice problems.
• Both quantity of reading and reading level are reduced.
• FYI, Take Note, and Modeling Note features call attention to key facts.
• Teacher Notes indicate which Individual Work questions are essential to future development work and which are calculator related.
• Chapter summaries are clearer and more succinct in their review of important mathematics.  Learn More
Math is Everywhere DVD
 Mathematics is everywhere in our lives. It is in the CAT scans at a hospital. It is in the e-mail and search engines of the Internet. It is in your hot dog; in the gasoline pump; in court; in the election booth; in your wallpaper, your fingerprints. There is no place, no object, in which math does not play a vital though often hidden part. Yes, mathematics is an important academic discipline, but it is much more - it is the tool for modeling our world. With all of the important and growing contemporary applications of mathematics, teachers especially must provide relevant and informed answers when their students ask, “What’s this stuff good for?” Learn More
