The all-in-one Journeys Common Core student text puts the Common Core State Standards in the hands of every student so they take ownership and become immersed in their learning.

These interactive Whiteboard lessons were developed in partnership with Promethean In.® for use on Promethean Interactive Whiteboards and are compatible with SMART® Interactive Whiteboards or any other interactive surface or projector. There’s no substitute for actually experiencing a process or task. That’s why Journey Common Core has built hands-on activities into the curriculum.
