Covid Emergency Release, Pilot EditionsThe COVID Emergency Release, Pilot Edition V3, 6–12 Math is currently called Carnegie Learning 6–12 Texas Math Solution and includes teacher guides and student resources for learning together and individually.

Products also are subject to a focus group of Texas educators.
