CMP4 Builds on CMP1, CMP2, and CMP3
CMP4 is designed and developed1 with the same philosophy2 that made the other iterations of CMP so effective3. It builds on the experience and successes of prior editions while designing innovative new elements to address societal needs and support students and teachers.
For more than 40 years, the team at Michigan State University has been designing, field-testing, and evaluating four revisions of the Connected Mathematics Project’s (CMP) curriculum, Connected Mathematics®. These curriculum activities are done alongside several research projects with each informing the other. After the publication of a new edition, the Connected Mathematics Project continues to interact with students, teachers, administrators, teacher educators, and researchers across the United States and several international countries to gather feedback from the field to inform future revisions and professional learning experiences.
Each edition reflects the information gathered from the research and the interactions on what it means to understand an important mathematical idea. This knowledge is then used to create an environment where students and teachers come together to define and solve problems with reasoning, insight, inventiveness, joy, and technical proficiency.
