This Open Education Resource (OER) book represents the beginnings of a larger work (to be appended and strengthened through cooperative efforts of instructors active within the Open Education community) to provide adult basic educators with resources to meet the needs of their students. It may be used in its entirety or individual lessons may be chosen, remixed, modified, and/or recompiled. Some of the lessons have an Instructor section that directly links the lessons with the mathematical standards for content and practice found in the College and Career Readiness Standards for Adults. Other lessons have those standards deeply embedded, if not specifically and individually stated.
Both Lori Lundine and Donna Parrish are long-time instructors in the Adult Basic Education Department of Rogue Community College and have taught many years in public secondary schools. They have worked extensively on the Oregon Adult College and Career Readiness Standards and currently serve as math consultants for Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission.

Based on the College and Career Readiness Standards in Action- 25% of higher level math instruction should be spent on Algebra and Functions. This includes Interpreting quadratic equations, using their structure to rewrite them in equivalent forms which serve a purpose. Also creating and solving quadratic equations to solve problems, both algebraically and graphically. They are to be able to re-arrange formulas involving quadratics and highligh specific quantities. (Guide to Effectively Managing Higher-Level Content Standards in Mathematics.)The amount of OER material available to assist instruction in higher level EFL math for adults is numerous, but searching for it often gets one tangled in the pedigogical instruction, with simplistic "real-life" examples, whereas adults with REAL "real-life" experience can appreciate the topics applied to broader world examples. This curriculum guide will give suggestions for pre-lesson activities to stimulate prior knowledge, walk you through a lesson example, and hopefully whet your appetite for using OER's in your regular instruction.
