HMH California Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2


Not Just Aligned: Designed for the California Common Core

HMH California AGA is built to match Appendix A of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics in a way that no other program on the market does.

The program is organized into Modules, or Content Clusters, so students can make connections across mathematical strands, and step up critical thinking and real-world applications.

The 5E Model of Instruction integrates the mathematical practices throughout, and emphasizes rigor and depth of understanding to better prepare students for the rigor of the Smarter Balanced assessments.*
