Introduction
This document demonstrates how Pearson Algebra 1 Common Core
Edition ©2012 meets the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.
Correlation references are to the pages of the Student and Teacher’s Editions,
Concept Bytes, and Learning Resources within the Teacher’s Editions.
Pearson Algebra 1 Common Core Edition is not just "aligned" to the
Common Core State Standards, it was written specifically for the Common
Core State Standards. The program fully addresses the Common Core
Content Standards and infuses the Standards for Mathematical Practice
throughout every lesson.
Pearson Algebra 1 Common Core Edition incorporates a blend of print and
digital components to tap into the power of mathematics and mathematical
reasoning. The wealth and flexibility of resources will enable you to easily
adapt to the changing needs of your classroom.
Program Features

Offers unmatched development of problem solving throughout the entire
program with the Solve It, Think-Write Boxes and Know-Need-Plan Boxes,
Think About a Plan Worksheets, Performance Tasks, and other features
unique to the program.

Teachers can enrich instruction with interactive lesson content and video
that makes real-world connections, and models thinking and reasoning
using interactive tools at PowerAlgebra.com and PowerGeometry.com.
Students can complete lessons independently and receive immediate
feedback using the online content to support in-class instruction.

Teachers are provided targeted support to ensure successful transition to
a Common Core State Standards-based curriculum with resources such as
a Common Core Overview and Implementation Guide. All teaching
resources are available in one easy to access location in print and online.
This document demonstrates the high degree of success students will achieve
by using Pearson Mathematics Common Core: Algebra 1.
