Programs & Materials Highlights
Our forward-thinking and groundbreaking research projects often result in insightful and inspiring learning materials, many for free.
Biocomplexity
What it is: Biocomplexity is an integrated, inquiry-based curriculum that consists of a series of cases relating to biocomplexity and climate change—designed around cases in urban, suburban/agricultural, tropical and polar systems, in which high school students address land use and resource use challenges increasingly confronted by society.
Takeaway: Teaching is often too focused on early skills like counting, instead of building a bridge to later math learning.
How TERC Can Help: Supporting research confirms that introducing algebra instruction in the early grades impacts future success. The LEAP program is the first early algebra curriculum for K-5 students. Learn more.
