Making Connections: Foundations for Algebra


Dear Teachers:
On this page, you will find links to the various technology tools referenced in the Making Connections: Foundations for Algebra courses. To jump to the table of tools, click the appropriate course:
Course 1 | Course 2

Tools for other platforms are continually being developed and updated, so be sure to visit this page regularly!

Note that these tools are specifically designed for the lessons within this text. Students are provided links via a different page to many of these tools so they can play with them (or use them to develop procedural fluency) at home.

Note that we always appreciate feedback. If you have suggestions for increasing the effectiveness of a tool, or for a new tech tool, please let us know at dietiker@cpm.org.

Sincerely,
The CPM Team
