Global education leader Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), in collaboration with Big Ideas Learning, a renowned mathematics instructional materials provider, today introduced Big Ideas Math 2014 – a Common Core-aligned math series that presents a focused, coherent, and rigorous approach to instruction.

Big Ideas Math 2014 is aligned to the newest progression documents that form the Common Core State Standards for math. To reach Common Core proficiency, students must show a progression of skills that develops year over year. The pedagogy behind Big Ideas Math is designed to help sequence the Standards and provide coherence to each topic.

“Big Ideas Math 2014 provides the conceptual building blocks that help to develop a deeper understanding of math concepts,” said Denise McDowell, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Big Ideas Learning. “It challenges students to think critically about what is in front of them, rather than complete a simple, static problem.”
