What is Investigations 3, and how is it different from the 2nd edition?

Investigations 3 is the K-5 inquiry-based approach to teaching mathematics. Investigations 3rd Edition content is based on Investigations 2nd Edition, along with content changes needed to fully address state and Common Core State Standards. Sessions from the Investigations and the Common Core Standards supplement have been integrated fully into the Curriculum Units. The ideas from many of these sessions have been expanded upon, and other sessions have been deleted or merged to streamline the curriculum and to reduce the overall number of sessions.
