NOTES

I. INTER-ETHNIC The instructional material meets the requirements of inter-ethnic: concepts, content and illustrations, as set by West Virginia Board of Education Policy (Adopted December 1970).

At Saxon, we strive to provide a fair and unbiased presentation of people and issues at all times. Examples in our textbooks, media products, and promotional materials reflect the diversity of today’s classroom and of our society. We take great care to use examples of people from different backgrounds in a variety of roles in an effort to provide students with positive models. Toward these ends, we established overall targets based roughly on the latest federal census figures. During the publication process, our editors and designers use these targets to select examples that match our instructional goals while also emphasizing diversity. See examples in Teacher’s Manual: -Instruction: pages 72 #4-6 and #11, 75-78, 85 Ex. 4, 110, 130 Ex. 5, 158 Ex. 1,

II. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY The instructional material meets the requirements of equal opportunity: concept, content, illustration, heritage, roles contributions, experiences and achievements of males and females in American and other cultures, as set by West Virginia Board of Education Policy (Adopted May 1975).

Equity in the Saxon Mathematics K-8 Series is shown through written dialogue rather than visual display. Graphics and illustrations are strictly mathematical and support instruction. The lessons in our mathematics program are very generic without any cultural bias. Below are various examples used throughout Course 2. See examples in Teacher’s Manual: -Instruction: pages 72 #4-6 and #11, 75-78, 85 Ex. 4, 110, 130 Ex. 5, 158 Ex. 1, 275 Ex. 3-4, 297, and 332 #a-e -Problem-Solving: pages 120-121, 157, 169, 194, 255, 280, 309, and 342 -Written Practice: pages 52 and 133 Early Finishers, 172 #2-3 and #5, 185 #3-4 and #7, 191 #1-2, 213 #2-3, 225 #1-2, 282 #1-2, 314 #3, 327 #4, and 372 #4-5 -Assessments: pages 142A (Power Up Test 3 and Cumulative Test 3A/3B #4), 215A (Power Up Test 5 and Cumulative Test 5A/5B #3-4), 254A (Cumulative Test 6A/6B #2-3), and 392A (Power Up Test 10 and Cumulative Test 10A/10B #4)
