Textbook Alignment

We offer alignment guides for several popular math textbooks, which make it easy to adopt Bootstrap as part of your normal scope and sequence. These guides are available for:

  • Illustrative Math (Grade 6) - [HTML, PDF]

  • Illustrative Math (Grade 7) - [HTML, PDF]

  • Illustrative Math (Grade 8) - [HTML, PDF]

  • Illustrative Math (HS) - [HTML, PDF]

  • Connected Mathematics - CMP3 (Grade 6) - [HTML, PDF]

  • Connected Mathematics - CMP3 (Grade 7) - [HTML, PDF]

  • Connected Mathematics - CMP3 (Grade 8) - [HTML, PDF]

  • Bilingual Glossary of Bootstrap Terms (English-Spanish) [PDF] - For teachers with ELL/ESL students, we provide a bilingual glossary for all of the terms used across our curriculum library.

  • Contracts [PDF] - for teachers who want only the contracts reference from the back of the student workbook, without using the entire book.

  • Blank Design Recipe Worksheet [PDF, Google Doc] - Use alongside story problems for a function development template.

  • Buggy Design Recipes [Recipes, Answer key] - Real examples of common student mistakes. Get some practice grading them, or practice getting students over common misconceptions.

  • Sample Homework Submission Form [Google Doc]

  • Broadening Participation [Google Slides] - Making computing relevant, accessible and welcoming to all students isn’t a pipe-dream. Like anything else worth doing, it takes some good practice and a desire to do it right and keep improving. We’ve put together some pointers based on best-practices from the CS-Education literature, for Bootstrap teachers or anyone looking to broaden participation in Computer Science.
