Frequently Asked Questions

Are there worked-out examples in the Core-Plus Mathematics Project curriculum?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, there are many worked-out examples in the CPMP curriculum. And it is the students who work them out! Through carefully orchestrated investigations, the students produce a large number of worked examples. Students learn better when they do the work, instead of (possibly) reading examples worked out by textbook authors. The CPMP curriculum is a flexible curriculum that can be used in a variety of ways with different groupings of students.

How are summaries and review provided in the Core-Plus Mathematics Project curriculum?

Frequently Asked Questions
It is crucial that students summarize and review what they have learned. Students summarize and review in the CPMP curriculum in the following ways: There is a set of boxed-off review questions at the end of every investigation (1-3 days). The teacher leads a whole-class discussion of these "Checkpoint" questions, making sure all students understand the main ideas.
Related Questions

What are students' perceptions and attitudes about the Core-Plus Mathematics Project curriculum?

Frequently Asked Questions
A written, Likert-type survey of students' perceptions and attitudes about various aspects of their mathematics course experience was administered at the end of each school year during the field test. In four field-test schools, both CPMP Course 2 students (n = 221) and traditional geometry students (n = 134) completed this survey at the end of their respective courses. (Course 2 results are presented since the newness effect of the CPMP approach is likely to have disappeared by then).

What are some tips for effectively implementing the Core-Plus Mathematics Project curriculum?

Frequently Asked Questions
Based on our experiences working with schools to implement the CPMP curriculum, Contemporary Mathematics in Context, we recommend that careful consideration be given to the form of implementation in a district and to the groundwork needed to build support for school mathematics reform. In addition, a professional development plan to support teachers is crucial to effective implementation of the curriculum.

Why are there so few worked examples in CMP texts?

CMP Parents - Frequently Asked Questions
The overarching goal in CMP is for students to make sense of and take ownership of mathematical concepts. The student role of formulating, representing, clarifying, communicating, and reflecting on ideas leads to an increase in learning. If the format of the texts included many worked examples, the student role would then become merely reproducing these examples with small modifications.

What are the alternative algorithms? Why are these part of the Everyday Mathematics curriculum?

UCSMP: Everyday Mathematics
For decades, all American school children have been taught one standard procedure for each of the four basic operations of arithmetic. These "standard" algorithms, like the regrouping ("borrowing") algorithm for multi-digit subtraction and the long division algorithm, are not the only way to perform these operations. There are many alternative algorithms taught in other countries. Compared to the standard U.S.

How well do Core-Plus students perform in college mathematics courses?

Frequently Asked Questions
CPMP Course 4 was field tested nationally during the 1998-99 school year and some preliminary evidence on how CPMP graduates perform in collegiate mathematics courses is beginning to appear.

Are the examples of COE curriculum program available?

Division of Career Education
The learner outcomes and competencies for cooperative education programs is available on our website. We have not developed curriculum guides for COE, or any other program. Individual teachers may have curriculum guides they are willing to share. Expanding a curriculum requires enough student population and interest to make enrollment after a prerequisite feasible. You need enough students in the pipeline to fill an advanced course section, which usually means enrolling juniors or sophomores.

Every Texas public college and university is required by Texas law to have a CORE Curriculum that, if completed at one institution, should transfer and take the place of the core at the receiving institution. Therefore, if your plans include transferring to a Texas public university, it is to your distinct advantage to complete the core at this college since the core should transfer as a block of credit to the receiving university. Many students have not chosen a major upon entering college.

What are some of your examples as to how staging worked for you?

FAQ
I have several examples as we stage all of our homes, no matter the exit strategy. One that I just mentioned. Another, regarding appraisals is a home that I purchased in pre-foreclosure. We purchased it for $83,500-the appraisal came out the same. We put in just over $5,000 of fix-up and staged the home. We did paint, carpet, clean-up and small fixes such as a small hole in the wall, missing knobs, caulking, etc. Then we staged. Our appraisal was $200,000.

Is there a way to take out some of the examples from the Curriculum Expectations?

Curriculum Unit Planner
When running the speller in the subtask description, the word "mins" came up (as it is not in the dictionary and you can't add to it). Unfortunately one of the writer's hit the CHANGE button, so instead of "mins" it says "ins". This field is locked from the desktop. Is there any easy way to fix this? Can you add to the speller so that it doesn't happen in the future. I have multiple listings for units in the CD Catalog section of the Unit Browser.
