Redland Middle School currently uses Carnegie Learning’s curricula in their Honors algebra I and geometry classes. Redland selected Carnegie Learning curricula because it offered a technology
component to their math classes. They were also searching for a solution to enforcing the idea of making their honor students show all steps when solving equations. Carnegie Learning’s Cognitive Tutor software component breaks each word problem into multiple steps and enforces the idea of showing all work and observing
patterns in solving equations.
