In this one year planning grant, mathematicians, mathematics educators, engineers and scientists of the University of New Hampshire with high school teachers and Technical Education Research Center will develop and refine mathematical, educational and technological perspectives for a three semester calculus curriculum. The project will first conduct a baseline assessment of first semester calculus students at UNH and high schools, to determine their algebra and trigonometry skills, as well as their understanding of essential precalculus concepts. Implementation of the reorganized and streamlined curriculum requires a clear perception of the students' knowledge base and misconceptions, as well as the students active participation in their own learning. The curriculum will start with the concept of approximation, whose idealization will lead to derivatives, integrals and continuity. Biweekly seminars to develop prototype materials, outline modules and core units will be held during the academic year. Some components will be tested in high schools during the spring semester, and at UNH in the summer of 1989. UNH is providing almost 55% of the project's costs.

在这项为期一年的计划拨款中，新罕布什尔大学的数学家、数学教育家、工程师和科学家、高中教师和技术教育研究中心将为三个学期的微积分课程开发和完善数学、教育和技术方面的观点。该项目将首先对UNH和高中第一学期的微积分学生进行基线评估，以确定他们的代数和三角学技能，以及他们对微积分基础概念的理解。实施重组和精简的课程需要对学生的知识基础和误解有一个清晰的认识，以及学生积极参与自己的学习。课程将从近似的概念开始，它的理想化将导致导数、积分和连续性。每两周一次的研讨会将在学年期间举行，以开发原型材料、大纲模块和核心单元。一些部分将于春季学期在高中进行测试，1989年夏季将在联合国大学进行测试。UNH提供了该项目近55%的成本。
