FROM THE CORE-PLUS MATHEMATICS PROJECT Mathematics That Makes Sense to More Students This innovative program engages students in investigation-based, multi-day lessons organized around big ideas. Important mathematical concepts are developed in relevant contexts by students in ways that make sense to them. Students in "Contemporary Mathematics in Context" work collaboratively, often using graphing calculators, so more students than ever before are able to learn important and broadly useful mathematics. Courses 1, 2, and 3 comprise a core curriculum that will upgrade the mathematics experience for all your students. Course 4 is designed for all college-bound students. Research-Based and Classroom-Tested Developed with funding from the National Science Foundation, each course in "Contemporary Mathematics in Context" is the product of a four-year research, development, and evaluation process involving thousands of students in schools across the country. The result is a program rich in modern content organized to make active student learning a daily occurrence in your classroom.
