MATHEMATICS

The Mathematics I and II unit development was a collaborative project between Okefenokee RESA, Coastal Plains RESA, and Southwest Georgia RESA to provide a resource for lessons to assist teachers as they implement Mathematics I and II. The units were written by high school mathematics teachers.

 

Attention:  The following Math Units have been approved for re-posting.

 

   Math II Unit 2

   Math II Unit 6

 

We are continuing to work on re-posting the remainder of the units as soon as possible.  We apologize for any inconvenience.   For more information please contact Rhonda Powers, rpowers@okresa.org.
