Cai, Jinfa; Wang, Ning; Moyer, John C.; Wang, Chuang; Nie, Bikai – International Journal of Educational Research, 2011
In this article, we present the results from a longitudinal examination of the impact of a "Standards"-based or reform mathematics curriculum (called CMP) and traditional mathematics curricula (called non-CMP) on students' learning of algebra using various outcome measures. Findings include the following: (1) students did not sacrifice basic…

Moyer, John C.; Cai, Jinfa; Wang, Ning; Nie, Bikai – International Journal of Educational Research, 2011
The purpose of the study reported in this article is to examine the impact of curriculum on instruction. Over a three-year period, we observed 579 algebra-related lessons in grades 6-8. Approximately half the lessons were taught in schools that had adopted a "Standards"-based mathematics curriculum called the Connected Mathematics Program (CMP),…
