Math in Context: A Connected Curriculum for Grades 5-8

该项目旨在为5-8年级开发一套完整的课程。拟制作的材料包括：教学材料、员工发展材料和评估材料。教学材料将由40个单元组成，每个单元大约持续3-4周。它们将按照5-8级标准的精神进行开发。将有一本《教师指南》，提供与每个单元相关的活动、视频剪辑和技术工具的信息。工作人员发展材料将由两部分组成：在职计划和教师网络模型。第二个组成部分是为教师提供支持。它将包括电子公告栏和协作组织等内容。该项目的第三部分是评估材料，包括教学评估材料和“核心”课程准备情况考试，以评估学生对“标准”第9-12节所述“核心”课程的准备情况。

This project intends to develop a complete curriculum for grades 5-8. The materials to be produced are: instructional materials, staff development materials, and assessment materials. The instructional materials will consist of 40 units each of about 3-4 weeks duration. They will be developed in the spirit of the Standards grades 5-8. There will be a "Teacher's Guide" to provide information on activities, video clips, and technological tools related to each unit. The staff development material will consist of two pieces: an inservice program and a teacher network model. The latter component is to lend support to the teachers. It will include such things as electronic bulletin boards and collaborative organizations. The third part of the project will be the assessment materials which will consist of instructional assessment materials and a "core" curriculum readiness examination to assess the students' readiness for the "core" curriculum as described in the 9-12 section of the Standards.
