“I want to make sure that if a student takes a course, it’s really a significant course, not a watered-down version.” - Ronald A. Pieffer Maryland deputy state superintendant for academic policy 11

Purpose: Determine what students are being taught in algebra I and geometry courses. Sample: In 2005, algebra I and geometry textbook information collected from a nationally representative sample of 650 high schools. 12 Mathematics Course Content Analysis

13 Approach: Obtain in-depth information about mathematics course content, including: Primary and supplementary textbooks used Chapters covered Additional course materials Information for a given course reviewed to determine how much students would be likely to learn in that course.
