Thank you, Bill!  My colleagues and I have had suspicions with these new textbooks taking liberties with the standards that we really don’t see.  I don’t want to use any names in this forum, but the one I’m talking about has a lot of “vision,” or so they say.  Other textbook studies I’ve seen only put textbooks as a mild to moderate fit for the Common Core.  Still a lot of the same stuff we’ve seen in past years.  Textbooks are wanting to give teachers “a lesson a day” to fill up the school year instead of giving them deep tasks that take days to finish and that require students to make sense of the mathematical content, developing fluency along the way.  Off my soapbox now.  Thank you again!

Thank you, Leandra.  I have been looking for a definitive answer, and there it is.  They don’t make that file that easy to find on their web site.  At least I haven’t been able to find it.
