Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics content and TCMS-Tools align well with findings and projections of the National Research Council Committee on The Mathematical Sciences in 2025.

A collection of video clips from a TCMS classroom is now available.

TCMS authors James Fey, Christian Hirsch, and Ann Watkins named recipients of Lifetime Achievement Awards. Fey and Hirsch were honored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Watkins was similarly honored by the United States Conference on Teaching Statistics.

TCMS developers recently spoke on school mathematics curriculum issues at state, national, and international conferences.

Digital versions (Windows, Mac, iPad, Android) of Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics are now available from McGraw-Hill Education.

Resources have recently been developed to assist students with On Your Own homework tasks. Included are hints, scaffolding, selected answers, and occasionally complete solutions. While intended primarily for student use, these resources are also valuable aids for tutors, parents, and other caregivers.

TCMS staff design, develop, and evaluate a prototype of next generation "deeply digital" curriculum materials.

NCTM embarks on the development of Pathways through High School Mathematics: Building Focus and Coherence (working title as of October 2016). Among the goals of this new publication is to "Define math curricular pathways leading to [differing] college pathways and career readiness, as well as active participation in our democratic society."
