Curriculum implementation of Mathematics 11 in British Columbia: A case study

There were errors in resource materials, and little help was offered by the Ministry of Education to aid in the implementation. The opinions and concerns of teachers on the BCAMT listserv and other teachers were noted as they pertained to implementing the new curriculum.
