Middle Grades MATH Thematics Phase II

该项目涉及修订中学数学主题课程，该课程是1992年至1997年由美国国家科学基金会资助开发的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，包括数学主题教师、研究数学家和数学教育者。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。为家长和管理人员量身定制的数学主题材料将被开发。我们将设计适合特殊学习者使用的新教材，并对现有的多元文化教材进行评估和修订。将对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.
