Textbook Adoption:
California adopts instructional materials for students in grades 1 through 8 (CAL. EDUC. CODE § 60200-60206). The governing board of each school district maintaining one or more high schools adopts instructional materials for use in the high schools under its control (CAL. EDUC. CODE § 60400-60048). Curriculum frameworks provide guidance for implementing the content standards adopted by the state board of education. Frameworks are developed by the Instructional Quality Commission, formerly known as the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission, which also reviews and recommends textbooks and other instructional materials to be adopted by the state board of education.

And? You certainly have a hard time answering simple questions.

Do you have some examples of elementary mathematics textbooks that were rejected by the State of California?

Apparently California, along with Florida, does not publish this information.
They both publish the textbooks that have been chosen by their respective boards of education.
 
I have been prowling around the internet looking for more info, but all I have found are guesses.

-too much stress on the meaning of the equals sign
-in the fractions section, correct answers were "3/5"
-pictures of happy children of all races learning arithmetic together, with a non-white child of ambiguous gender performing at the board
-use of terms like "identity" or "transform"
-raising the concept of infinite sets, where everyone knows only God is infinite

The current unsolved arithmetic problem on this forum is a challenge to find the 8th root of 1

Every text book used, be it elementary or high school is reviewed.
Do think Magoo could submit a "text book" and have it used in class without a review?
Math books, history books, English books, foreign language....all get reviewed and some are chosen and some are rejected.

Seems as if the reasoning for banning or not choosing these books is addressed below.
.....More than half the textbooks being disallowed incorporated “prohibited topics or unsolicited strategies, including CRT,” while others were not allowed because publishers “rebranded” Common Core Standards. ....

I get that everything is reviewed and potentially replaced based on standard cycles. The reference to CRT (for K-5 Math books), as I mentioned, is what's odd to me. TBH, it just seems like someone is trying to make some political points by whistling to a section of society, in the knowledge that they won't have to substantiate it before the media cycle moves on.

Are you an actual teacher? If not, how do you know what homework is?

If you passed high school math courses or even middle school pre-calc, you know one obvious correct answer. If you did well in high school math courses, you know two correct answers. If you took and understood some college-level math courses often taught to majors in mathematics (of course), physics, and engineering, you know four correct answers. There may be more correct answers derivable in some advanced discipline (tensor calculus and/or theoretical physics?) but my training ends short of that possibility, so I don't know if there are more than four. In a general handwave analysis, searching for an 8th root one should not be surprised to find 8 possible roots, although we know from simple examples similar to this one that sometimes some of the multiple roots are identical.

We are all aware of the rising prices of motor fuel (although they seem to be coming back down slowly now) and most of us know about the recent record profits of the oil companies, but how many know about this?

Diesel is going up, gee I wonder why? Gas will surge so hi people will get upset and finally blame it on the real cheaters of our country. The truth is coming out day by day, drip by drip and even you will believe the truth :) JD is going after the three letter agencies and some Foundations that were spying, cheating and then lying about it. t caught them all. Flynn said you F%^$ with the wrong General. General Stanley knows it all and has shared the truth about everything. This has been the largest Military sting operation ever done in the world. Love you Espola. It's all going to work itself out. Let's all get along for the kids sake. Talking and debating as adults with the latest ideas has always gone on in life and should never be silenced. Freedom of speech is where freedom starts. They tried to keep us from seeing each other smile in the local square, pubs and eat places with forced mask or else. The forcing mask and 6 feet get away from me has done damage. No hugs allowed either. No Thanksgiving or Christmas with the non vax, remember that? Hang in their Grandpa, life is going to be so amazing :)

So you're not a credentialed teacher therefore you have no idea what homework is or isn't...

Have you tried asking your kid's math teacher for the answer?

Why? You don't know?

I know you're a professional hack.

I know you're not a credentialed teacher.

I know you know nothing about how crypto currency operates.

I know you don't kmow the difference between a stare and compare and spying.

I love hearing about everything you don't know...
