The edition of Scott Foresman–Addison Wesley Elementary Mathematics reviewed in this report was published in 2004. Information is not available on the number or demographics of students, schools, or districts using this curriculum.
Scott Foresman–Addison Wesley Elementary Mathematics consists of teacher-led lessons that follow a check-learn-check-practice sequence, emphasizing key math concepts and skills. Teachers check students’ skills prior to each lesson, introduce the lesson, and then check students’ understanding during the lesson. “Practice” sections in the text permit students to further demonstrate their understanding of concepts and apply this knowledge to solving real-life problems. Lessons (typically 45–60 minutes in length) are organized into chapters that extend over 2–8 weeks and use texts, workbooks, transparencies, manipulatives, and technology through group and individual activities.
The cost of Scott Foresman–Addison Wesley Elementary Mathematics varies based on the number of components included. For example, based on information from the developer, the costs in 2006 of some of the components used in the Resendez and Manley (2005) study for second grade are: student edition text ($28.60), homework workbook ($6.25), spiral review transparencies ($103), Problem of the Day transparencies/flipbook ($150), Big Math Stories (two volumes, $118), manipulative kits ($390), math game packs ($36), math vocabulary kit ($64.90), the Leveled Literature Library ($35), and test taking practice transparencies ($103).
