The March 2013
issue of the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education reports
a carefully-controlled study in which Core-Plus Mathematics students
performed significantly better on a Test of Common Objectives,
on a Problem Solving and Reasoning Test, and on the standardized
test, ITED Mathematics: Concepts and Problem Solving than did students
from publisher-produced, single-subject texts from Glencoe, McDougal
Littel, Holt (Kennedy et al), Holt (Schulz et al), and Prentice
Hall. The multi-year study followed as close as possible the recent recommendations on evaluating curricular effectiveness from the National Research Council. |

Congratulations
to Superintendent Austin Obasohan of the Duplin County Schools,
one of Education Week's 15 profiles on forward-thinking education
leaders! Duplin County Schools partners with the New Schools Project in North Carolina and has organized their high school mathematics courses around use of the Core-Plus Mathematics program to prepare students for future mathematics courses in their Early College degree program and to meet the North Carolina Integrated Mathematics Course of Study which is aligned to the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS). |
