Connected Mathematics Project

该项目将开发、实地测试、评估和传播一套三年中学数学课程。该项目是由密歇根州立大学（主办机构）、马里兰大学和北卡罗来纳大学的团队共同承担的。这个计划的工作名称是“关联数学”，它的选择表明了我们对培养学生的数学知识的兴趣，这些知识是丰富的联系——学科的各个主题之间的联系，数学及其在其他学科中的应用之间的联系，计划的教/学活动与中学生的特殊才能和兴趣之间的联系以及小学数学所做的准备与中学数学目标之间的联系。

This project will develop, field-test, evaluate, and disseminate a three-year mathematics curriculum for middle school grades. The project is a joint undertaking of teams at Michigan State University (the host institution), the University of Maryland, and the University of North Carolina. The working title of the proposed program, Connected Mathematics, has been chosen to suggest our interest in developing student knowledge of mathematics that is rich in connections--connections among the various topic strands of the subject, connections between mathematics and its applications in other disciplines, connections between the planned teaching/learning activities and the special aptitudes and interests of middle school students and connections between the preparation laid by elementary school mathematics and the goals of secondary school mathematics.
