This course is being offered for the first time during the 2012 – 2013 school year as a math requirement for graduation. The State did not have a textbook recommendation for this course; therefore, we solicited copies from three (3) textbook companies. The Textbook Adoption Committee for Math recommends Tennessee Bridge Math, authored by Lynch and Olmstead, published by McGraw-Hill. These textbooks are recommended for a six-year cycle beginning with the 2012 – 2013 school year. We must submit the Report of Local Adoption of Textbooks Not on Contract to the State upon approval.

Based on this Committee’s recommendation, I recommend adoption of the above-noted textbooks for a six-year cycle beginning with the 2012 – 2013 school year.
