Core-Plus Mathematics Project: Phase II

核心加数学项目（CPMP），以前是为开发高中数学前三年的材料而资助的，现在正在开发第四年的材料。第四年的课程建立在前三年的基础上，继续为学生准备大学数学，包括那些将成为数学专业用户的学生，以及直接进入工作场所的学生。正在编制三门一学期课程的教材。第一学期课程面向所有学生，第二学期课程面向打算学习微积分的学生，第三学期课程面向不打算学习微积分的学生。第三门课程将强调离散数学、概率论和统计学。正在进行一项纵向研究，跟踪那些根据美国国家科学基金会支持的一门综合中学课程准备初中数学的学生，然后使用CPMP或另一门美国国家科学基金会支持的综合高中课程学习高中数学的学生。该研究还考察了学生在高中毕业后第一年的表现。

9618193 Hirsch The Core Plus Mathematics Project (CPMP), which was previously funded to develop materials for the first three years of high school mathematics, is developing materials for a fourth year. The fourth-year course builds on the first three and continues the preparation of students for college mathematics, including those who will become professional users of mathematics, and for direct entry to the workplace. Materials for three one-semester courses are being developed. The first semester course is intended for all students, the second course for students who intend to take calculus, and the third for students who do not intend to take calculus. The third course will emphasize discrete mathematics, probability, and statistics. A longitudinal study is being conducted that follows students whose preparation in middle school mathematics is based on one of the NSF-supported, comprehensive middle school curricula and who then study high school mathematics using CPMP or another of the NSF-supported, comprehensive high school curricula. The study also looks at the performance of students during the first year after completing high school.
