Six Through Eight Mathematics (STEM)

六到八年级数学（STEM）项目旨在开发6-8年级的新数学课程，包括一套完整的学生材料，教师支持材料和评估材料，旨在为教师提供数学准确，利用技术，并为学生提供通往科学和其他数学领域的桥梁。这些教材将通过为学生提供使用阅读、写作和口语作为学习数学工具的机会，将交流融入数学。STEM材料将以问题为中心，以应用为基础，并在适当的地方使用技术。许多课程将以项目为导向，以便学生合作学习。此外，将开发新的评价技术，以便与这些材料一起使用。在设计课程时，员工将与IBM、麦克道格尔、利特尔公司和德州仪器公司合作。这些材料在全国试行后，将在全国范围内出版传播。

The Six Through Eight Mathematics (STEM) Project is designed to develop a new curriculum for mathematics for grades 6-8, including a complete set of student materials, teachers support materials, and evaluation materials, STEM is designed to provide teachers with curricular materials which are mathematically accurate, utilize technology, and provide students with bridges to the sciences and other mathematical fields. These materials will be designed to integrate communication into mathematics by providing opportunities for students to use reading, writing, and speaking as tools for learning mathematics. STEM materials will be problem-centered, application based, and will use technology where appropriate. Many lessons will be designed to be project oriented so that students work cooperatively. In addition, new evaluation techniques will be developed for use with the materials. In designing the curriculum, staff will work cooperatively with IBM, McDougal, Littell and Company, and Texas Instruments. After the materials have been pilot tested throughout the nation, they will be published nationally for dissemination.
