Diving into Modern Algebra 2 Self-Paced Canvas Course Series

The New Mexico Public Education Department has launched “Diving Into Modern Algebra 2,” a six‑module professional learning series designed to support New Mexico teachers, school site leaders, curriculum and instruction staff, and school counselors in bringing a modern, engaging, and equitable Modern Algebra 2 experience to their students. Throughout this series, participants will explore how Modern Algebra 2 reflects New Mexico’s vision for mathematics, deepening their understanding of how to nurture strong mathematical identities and a sense of belonging for all learners, and examine the pathways that connect algebra to meaningful, real‑world applications.

Participants who complete all modules and successfully complete all Checks for Understanding with a score of 80% or higher will receive a Knowledge Badge. More information about retrieving and sharing your badge will be provided upon course completion.
