Middle Grades MATH Thematics Phase II

该项目涉及修订中学数学课程，这是1992年至1997年由国家科学基金会资助开发的一个6 - 8年级综合数学课程。 修订将根据从各个利益相关者收集的数据进行，包括数学教师，数学研究者和数学教育工作者。 修订后的学生教材将利用新技术，并将在不同的中学环境中进行实地测试。 课程的专业发展部分将大大扩大。 将为家长和管理人员开发适合数学思维的材料。 将设计可供特殊学习者使用的新教材，并将评价和修订现有的多文化教材。 将对该项目进行形成性和总结性评估。 费用分摊包括蒙大拿大学和出版商的大量捐款。

This project involves revising the Middle Grades MATH Thematics curriculum, a comprehensive grades 6-8 mathematics curriculum developed with NSF funding from 1992 through 1997. Revisions will be informed by data collected from various stakeholders, including MATH Thematics teachers, research mathematicians and mathematics educators. Revised student materials will take advantage of new technologies and will be field tested in diverse middle-school settings. The professional development component of the curriculum will be greatly expanded. Materials for parents and administrators that are tailored to MATH Thematics will be developed. New materials will be designed that can be used with special learners, and existing multicultural materials will be evaluated and revised. Formative and summative evaluation of the project will be conducted. Cost sharing includes substantial contributions from the University of Montana and the publisher.
