Demme Learning is an educational publishing company that develops, sells, and supports skills-based multi-sensory, parent-engaging education products and services for parents, teachers, and schools working with students in PreK-12 to build lifelong learners.
Algebra 1:
Principles of Secondary Mathematics
— Print + Publishing
Algebra 1: Principles of Secondary Mathematics challenges students to continue building in-depth knowledge in preparation for a more advanced study of math. Core algebraic topics and objectives are presented and addressed as students become fluent in mathematical language, problem styles, and problem-solving and reasoning skills.
As part of a four-person design team, we collaborated with contractors to develop a standards-aligned curriculum for Algebra 1 within the Math-U-See homeschool math program. Our curriculum includes both print and digital components to support diverse learning styles.
The Process Behind the Design
Defining Curriculum Design Goals
Conduct competitor research, customer surveys, and in-house subject matter expert surveys to determine the areas of curriculum design that need the most focus and attention.
Collaborative Design
During the design process for the Math-U-See Algebra 1 curriculum, our team used market research to individually create mockups and sketches. Through collaboration, we combined and narrowed down our ideas to create a unified direction for the page design. The Content/Curriculum Team provided feedback, which allowed us to develop lessons for the Pilot Testing program.
Iterative Developments Base on Pilot Testing Feedback
Utilizing feedback from the six-session pilot testing program, we revised and developed the curriculum to improve upon current solutions. Instructors and students provided valuable insights after completing a pre-designated number of lessons, allowing us to iterate and further refine the curriculum.
Final Results
Two 230-page Student Workbooks, two 250-page Instructor Handbooks, one 265-page Test Book, and a collection of companion materials available for download online. Each piece was thoughtfully designed to support a comprehensive learning experience across both print and digital formats.
Designing Math Graphics
Math Graphics
As part of the textbook development process, I created clear, accurate math graphs and instructional graphics that visually supported key concepts and aligned with the lesson content.
Algebra 2:
Principles of Secondary Mathematics
— Print + Publishing
Algebra 2: Principles of Secondary Mathematics is a comprehensive online math program that combines guided instruction, step by step video lessons, printable lesson pages, and worked solutions to support independent learning. Students progress through a structured learning path with access to practice materials, instructional resources, and support tools designed to build confidence and mastery of advanced algebra concepts.
As Design Lead, I oversaw the production of Algebra 2: Principles of Secondary Mathematics, a redesigned program that moved beyond the traditional textbook model to combine web based learning with printable student resources. The project involved leading contractors and internal designers while collaborating with web partners to deliver a seamless experience across multiple formats.
Expanding on Math Graphics
Math Graphics
Continuing the visual language established in Algebra 1, I collaborated with the curriculum lead to create graphics that accurately represented the math and supported both the online curriculum and printable resources. The project focused on maintaining a consistent and engaging experience across all formats.
Analytical Grammar
— Print + Publishing
Analytical Grammar offers a fresh, clear approach to mastering grammar by breaking down complex concepts into simple, step-by-step lessons that build confidence and understanding. Designed to refresh and deepen students’ language skills, the program moves beyond memorization to encourage analytical thinking and practical application.
During Demme Learning’s acquisition, I collaborated with the design team and managed contractors to help develop a refreshed version of the program.
