Pearson/Savvas enVision Mathematics K-12 line precalculus textbook (Kennedy, Milou, Thomas eds., 2024). Topic-based pedagogy — uses 'Topics' instead of chapters and emphasizes essential questions, model-build-explore framing, with embedded performance tasks. Standard CCSS-aligned 11-Topic HS precalc structure with Topic 11 Introduction to Calculus bridging to AP Calc. Pearson's K-12 active-refresh replacement for the older Pearson Prentice Hall HS Precalculus line. Strong adoption in districts using Savvas Realize digital ecosystem.
