Current Reform Efforts in Mathematics Education. ERIC/CSMEE Digest.
Edwards, Thomas G.
The current reform effort in mathematics education has its roots in the decade of the 1980's and the national reports that focused attention on an impending crisis in education, particularly in mathematics and science. Within this context, dozens of individual reform efforts have been initiated in recent years. Many have focused on the development of new curricula, others on teacher enhancement, some on both. Still others have taken the use of technology in mathematics instruction as their central theme. The projects listed in this digest are but a small sample of current efforts, but they serve to illustrate the diversity of programs nationwide. Programs discussed in this digest include: Connected Mathematics Project, Adventures of Jasper Woodbury, Maneuvers with Mathematics, Mathematics in Context, Quantitative Reasoning Project, University of Chicago School Mathematics Project, Atlanta Math Project, Teaching to the Big Ideas, Integrating Science and Mathematics Teaching for Middle School Underrepresented Students, Math Matters, New York City Mathematics Project, Project IMPACT, Quantitative Understanding--Amplifying Student Achievement and Reasoning; Cognitively Guided Instruction, Delaware Teacher Enhancement Project, Math Learning Center, Calculator and Computer Precalculus Project, Computer Intensive Algebra, Empowering Teachers in Computer-Intensive Environments, Geo-Logo, Graphing Calculator-Enhanced Algebra Project, and Calculus Curriculum Project.
