  4. So Why Connected Mathematics? • Aligns with high school resource, Core-Plus • Supported by NCTM and NSF • Received numerous awards, including one from the US Dept of Education for “Exemplary Curriculum” • Follows an investigative approach to mathematics to build conceptual understanding of math topics that leads to a rich and connected understanding of math

  5. Curriculum and Pacing Guides • What is available? • YAAG • Unit Overview • In Depth Curriculum Guide • Where are they located? • My website • DCS Curriculum Guides • Google Drive

  6. Other Resources with CMP3 • Connected Mathematics (CMP) • CMP3 Math Dashboard • Student book • Teacher book • Practice books

  10. Don't tell your pupils too much. Give them a chance to find out something for themselves. Let the mind have a chance to develop by doing such work. The muscles that are never exercised become inert. The mind that never has an opportunity to work will never grow. There is no doubt that many teachers explain too much. There is a difference between giving the child a helping hand over a hard place and picking him up bodily and carrying him over. • The Normal Instructor, October 1895
