Discovery Ed launches Math Techbook


Math Techbook’s innovative all-in-one design saves teachers time with model lessons, a wide array of real-world problems and teacher notes. The notes include tips for classroom discussion, as well as ways to demonstrate mathematical practices. In addition, Math Techbook features the newest generation of technology enhanced items and formative assessments throughout the instructional cycle that will help prepare students for high-stakes assessments. Real-time feedback and easy-to-read data on the Teacher Dashboard make it easier to differentiate instruction and support the success of each learner.

“The new Discovery Education Math Techbook vividly illustrates the relevance and importance of math in students’ everyday lives,” said Jeffery Baugus, Dean of Students and Math Department Chair at Woodlawn Beach Middle School in Florida’s Santa Rosa County School District. “This innovative digital textbook immediately engages students in instruction, and provides all the content and tools I need to create a modern digital learning environment that fosters deeper, lasting understanding of math concepts.”

To support the effective integration of digital textbooks into classroom instruction, Discovery Education provides each educator using the Math Techbook customized, job-embedded professional development. This professional development not only helps educators explore the engaging resources embedded in Discovery Education Math Techbook, but also provides the strategies needed to engage students in inquiry-based instruction, math investigations, and collaborative, real-world problem-solving on any device and in any classroom configuration.

Discovery Education’s new Math Techbook was unveiled on Jan. 8 at Discovery Education’s thought-leadership event, Math: What Does it Mean to Win?

During this event, a diverse panel of experts discussed the wide-ranging implications of math achievement in the United States. Moderated by NBC 4 News Anchor, Aaron Gilchrist, the panel included: Dr. Mark Edwards, Superintendent, North Carolina’s Mooresville Graded School District; Dr. Francis “Skip” Fennell, Professor of Education, McDaniel College; Danica McKellar, Actress and Best-Selling Author; Michele Weslander-Quaid, Chief Innovation Evangelist, Google; and Portia Wu, Assistant Secretary of Employment and Training Administration, United States Department of Labor.

“Discovery Education’s Techbook series was created in response to the need for a fully digital, core instructional resource that would ignite students’ curiosity and enhance classroom instruction via a powerful, simple-to-use and cost effective solution,” said Bill Goodwyn, president and CEO of Discovery Education. “The latest addition to this series, Math Techbook, not only empowers teachers to bring math to life for all learners by engaging them in a way that helps build proficiency in math concepts, but also helps grow the problem-solving and critical-thinking skills today’s students need to succeed beyond the classroom.”
