Comprehensive hybrid (online and face-to-face) programs

The Dana Center, in collaboration with education publisher Agile Mind and with experts throughout the United States, has developed comprehensive hybrid (online and face-to-face) course programs that support implementation of both the Standards for Mathematical Content and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

These course programs include a complete curriculum, embedded teacher professional development, formative and summative assessments, test preparation resources, just-in-time reports on student progress, and at-elbow advice for classroom instruction.

Schools and districts that participate in one or more course programs also receive face-to-face and virtual professional development and ongoing mentoring and support.

The Dana Center–Agile Mind course programs aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics include Mathematics 6, Mathematics 7, Mathematics 8, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

These programs support students in CCSSM-aligned study from middle school through year 3 of high school.

Students learn the mathematics described in the Standards for Mathematical Content and develop the proficiencies described in the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

In addition to these mathematics programs, our Summer-Start Academic Youth Development, Advisory Academic Youth Development, and Attitudes, Beliefs, and Student Learning course programs also support the Standards for Mathematical Practice while targeting student and adult beliefs about learning.

Advanced Mathematical Decision Making

Advanced Mathematical Decision Making is a course developed by the Dana Center and other mathematics experts for high school seniors.

AMDM follows Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II or Integrated Mathematics 1, 2, and 3. AMDM builds on and extends what students have learned, covering topics not typical of most programs.
