Product Description

Center for Mathematics Education - CME Project

CME Project - Student Edition - Geometry

CME Project (©2009) components for Geometry Student Edition for Grades 8-12.

The CME Project offers you an innovative NSF curriculum, wrapped around a familiar course sequence of Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Precalculus. The CME Project meets the dual goals of mathematical rigor and accessibility for all students. It achieves these goals through:

• Innovative, research-based instruction
• Problem-based, student-centered curriculum
• Engaging lessons that focus on developing students' Habits of Mind
• Accessible approach to capture and engage students of all ability levels

Features and Benefits

The CME Project is the only brand new NSF-funded High-School program and the only one built around the familiar structure of Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Precalculus.

Familiar Course Sequence, Balanced Instructional Approach

No longer are you limited to traditional texts driven by uninspiring delivery of basic skills or progressive programs with unfamiliar, complex organizations. The CME Project provides teachers with a third, and totally innovative alternative providing complete support for you with comprehensive teaching resources and engaging technology and allowing you to integrate the latest Texas Instruments technology into your mathematics classroom.

Developed over decades of classroom experience and informed by research, the CME Project is organized around mathematical themes that are familiar to teachers and parents while providing an engaging and rigorous curriculum to capture students' interest and help them achieve the thrill of mathematical success.

Core to the program's methodology:

• Developing Habits of the Mind, or ways students approach and solve mathematical challenges.
• Deepening mathematical understanding by moving students from applying concepts to adapting them in logical, organized ways.
• Advancing basic skills to evolve from concrete problems to abstractions and general theories.
• Meeting the dual goals of mathematical rigor and accessibility for a broad range of students.

Research and Validity

The CME Project was field tested in diverse schools across the country. Independent research was conducted in each year of field testing, and this research proved the CME Project was successful in raising student achievement.

Authors

The CME Project Development Team includes teachers, teacher educators, and mathematicians with many connections to the classroom, professional development in mathematics education, and education policy. The team wrote and rewrote each lesson in response to the feedback from mathematicians and teachers, keeping mathematics and mathematical thinking at the heart of our work.
