ABSTRACT ESI 94-50258 Robert Moses The Algebra Project, Inc. Cambridge, MA Middle School Mathematics Literacy Project Over the past several years, the Algebra Project, Inc. has been developing a set of inquiry-oriented, experience-based middle school materials designed to prepare minority youngsters to enter, and successfully complete, a college track mathematics program in high school. The Algebra Project materials, designed to be used as a supplement to other middle school curricula, are currently being implemented in a number of (mainly urban) sites around the United States. The present project involves both implementation and evaluation activities at just one set of sites in Mississippi, primarily in the Spring Semester 1994. The project targets some 32 schools, including a few schools in Jackson, as well as many isolated rural schools in the Delta. Project staff supports the implementation efforts of the 78 teachers by periodic workshops, meetings, and class visitations, as well as the development of a broad-based community support system that includes school administrators, parents, and community leaders. Concurrent with the implementation efforts, a national panel of 6 evaluation experts is conducting an intensive short-term evaluation study to look at the Algebra Project materials themselves, as well as the Mississippi Delta implementation model--with a view to determining the replicability of this model. Non-NSF contributions to this project are 10% of the NSF contribution.

Robert Moses, The Algebra Project, Inc。在过去的几年里，代数项目公司一直在开发一套以探究为导向、以经验为基础的中学教材，旨在帮助少数民族青少年进入并成功完成高中的大学数学课程。代数计划的教材，旨在作为其他中学课程的补充，目前正在美国各地的一些地点（主要是城市）实施。本项目主要在1994年春季学期在密西西比州的一组场址进行执行和评价活动。该项目以32所学校为目标，包括杰克逊的几所学校，以及三角洲地区许多偏远的农村学校。项目工作人员通过定期研讨会、会议和课堂访问，以及建立包括学校管理人员、家长和社区领导人在内的基础广泛的社区支持系统，为78名教师的实施工作提供支持。在实施工作的同时，一个由6名评估专家组成的国家小组正在进行一项密集的短期评估研究，以查看代数项目的材料本身，以及密西西比三角洲的实施模型，以确定该模型的可复制性。非NSF对该项目的贡献为NSF贡献的10%。
