Scope of use
Pilot editions of CMP were used from 1991 to 1997 and from 2000 to 2006 by approximately 390 teachers and 45,000 students across the United States. As of September 2004, the program had been implemented in 2,462 school districts, covering all 50 states.
Teaching
The CMP curriculum is divided into a sequenced set of units, each organized around different mathematical topics. The four to seven lessons in a unit each contain one to five problems that the teacher and students explore in class. Additional problem sets for each lesson, called Applications, Connections, and Extensions, help students practice, apply, connect, and extend their understanding and skills. Each lesson culminates in a Mathematical Reflections activity. Materials include student units, Teacher Guides, Additional Practice and Skills Workbooks, Assessment Resources, and CD-ROMs for lesson planning, assessment, and student activities.
Cost
For the most recent edition of CMP, each student unit costs $8.85, each teacher unit costs $19.97, and the Computer Test Bank for Assessment and Practice CD-ROM costs $129.97. See the publisher website for costs of other resources.
