Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), in collaboration with seven school districts, two subcontractors (EdCo and Inverness Research Associates), a publisher (Sunburst Communications), and a large group of consultants and advisors, proposes to develop a new mathematics curriculum that will address the unique needs of middle school students. This curriculum will build upon the central theme of mathematics in the human experience and will focus upon students' learning to see and think mathematically. It will reflect a view of learning as a process of constructing one's own knowledge, and it will emphasize the importance of the social context of learning for middle school students. It will integrate the use of computer simulations, exploratory environments, and tools. This project will bring a new vision of mathematics, new types of learning experiences, and a new structure to the middle school curriculum. It will also address the critical issues that can determine whether a new curriculum is widely accepted and used well, including teacher suport, student assessment, classroom implementation, curriculum evaluation, and parent involvement.

教育发展中心公司(EDC)与七个学区、两个分包商(Edco和Inverness Research Associates)、一家出版商(SunBurst Communications)以及一大批顾问和顾问合作，提议开发一种新的数学课程，以满足中学生的独特需求。这门课程将建立在人类经验中数学的中心主题上，并将重点放在学生学习用数学来看待和思考上。它将体现一种学习是一个建构自身知识的过程的观点，并将强调社会语境对中学生学习的重要性。它将整合计算机模拟、探索环境和工具的使用。该项目将为中学课程带来新的数学观、新的学习体验和新的结构。它还将解决决定新课程是否被广泛接受和良好使用的关键问题，包括教师支持、学生评估、课堂实施、课程评估和家长参与。
